    It may well be more efficient to pair up a long trip with a shorter one

    Megabus Discussion

    Try emailing customer services and explain your situation. They may give you a voucher if not a "proper" refund as a gesture of goodwill. Delays do happen.

    Trips by Bus and Coach: Your reports

    Thanks to both @TheGrandWazoo and @RELL6L as always for their comprehensive trip reports. I'm envious of all of it, but in particular the community bus trip. I love those weekly services where you feel like you're intruding a little in the closed shop.

    Stagecoach acquisitions since 2000

    Not sure if Robson's of Thornaby was in the date range you requested, or 1999.

    Thanks. The perils of hurriedly checking times via Google Maps on a Friday evening!

    Trivia: where indirect routes are more frequent between towns

    Middlesbrough to Hartlepool - 41 mins on the half hourly 1 via Seal Sands, or 70 mins on the 36 via Stockton which is every 20 mins (but was every 15 for many years).

    Bus Map North Wales

    Arriva's site does have some maps, but you have to be in their page for a particular town to find it. Try googling Arriva Holyhead to find their map of Anglesey, and Arriva Bangor for their Gwynedd one. Doesn't help much with the independents though.

    Hulley's of Baslow (Defunct)

    For info, I used it on Sunday from Castleton. It arrived at approx 1040 and left at 1115. I think they are going to do quick turns at the Baslow end (due to the connections) and have recovery time at the Castleton end. It's a good trip - I think you get the best scenery going towards Castleton...

    Megabus Discussion

    There is a loose theme with the cross country numbers. M31 is fast Manchester - Bristol M33 is fast Birmingham - Cardiff M34 is a coach on the Manchester - Birmingham - Oxford corridor M36 is on the Manchester - Birmingham - Bristol corridor. There are too many stopping combinations to give...

    Keswick Bus 77/77A - Which Is Better?

    On a practical note, if you go the long way round to Seatoller, and then change to the open top, there is a toilet at the car park/bus stop! Agree both ways round are awesome.

    Longest Megabus route in the UK

    If memory serves correctly, longest is the M20 London to Glasgow via Newcastle and second is M11 London to Glasgow via Manchester, both operated normally with Panoramas. Third is M34 Newcastle to Portsmouth operated by Elites.

    Trips by Bus and Coach: Your reports

    Just catching up with everyone's amazing travels - always enjoyable! One thing I hadn't realised is that Stagecoach in Hartlepool's depot on Brenda Road was ex-Tees and not ex-Hartlepool Transport. Do you know how that came about, @TheGrandWazoo ?

    TrawsCambria / TrawsCymru

    Although 15 miles or less is needed from a distance perspective to count as a local route, you also need 15 mins or less between time points (unless you have a very good reason!)

    Large group budget operations

    The last I saw of magic bus in Manchester, it looked very smart, so definitely not what the OP intended.
