With Arriva now being German and both Stagecoach and First being nominally Scottish, if the Yes campaign win are there any implications to the vast majority of bus services in the rest of the UK being run by foreign companies?

I've seen many daft comments from bus companies. The latest is on this map from the usually-excellent trentbarton: https://www.trentbarton.co.uk/nottsunimap The key states that for the Red Arrow stops "You can only get on & off at these stops" leading me to wonder what else people do at...

Hi, Looking for advice on getting from Halifax to Barmouth (even though it appears to take more than twice as long as driving). If we do it, we'll be leaving Halifax on Saturday 26 July returning Saturday 2 August. We don't want to be getting up at the crack of dawn or arriving after...

Hi, I'm wondering if anyone knows what's holding up Virgin releasing tickets for 19/05/2014? The booking horizon seems to have been stuck for a couple of weeks. I'm travelling BHI to Glasgow on 19/05/2014. I booked my ticket to Birmingham New Street (BHM) (with XC) [and I'll probably then...

National Express are runnning coaches on Christmas Day this year - though with surprisingly little notice. http://www.nationalexpress.com/waystosave/instant-getaways.aspx Looks like just a handful of journeys on 7 routes (1 Leeds - London, 2 London - Leeds, 4 London Gatwick, 7 back no...

Hi, Going from Keighley (or Steeton and Silsden) to Crewe on Saturday 7th December, returning on the 8th. Want to arrive by mid-afternoon, happy to leave any time from mid-morning (we're going to see a couple of bands). There's two of us which gives us a fare of £84.80, or as it's...

Just checking something out. Next Monday evening I'll be travelling from Gatwick to London - I'm intending to get out at London Bridge Am I right in thinking my best ticket is a £10 Anytime Day Single to St Pancras, breaking my journey at London Bridge? I won't need a return as I'm...

Looks like megabus are going posh: http://andysbusblog.blogspot.co.uk/2013/04/stagecoach-announce-new-megabus-gold.html Not that might make quite an impression on the cheaper end of the Rail sleeper services. http://www.megabusgold.com/

Hi, Looking for advice on fares for my wife. Wondering if we can beat £36.80 for this single. She's not returning and is entitled to no railcards. The journey is on the monring of 20 April 2013. She's looking, ideally to arrive around 1030-1100 but there's some flexibility. We're...

I recently looked up the cost of a new season ticket on NRE. There was a link on this page to find out about valid routes: http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/48293.aspx Not a word about the Routeing guide - and a statement that they're valid via "Any Reasonable route". Do you think...

Ah, a subject close to my heart. TfL are moving to cheaper phone numbers - for Oyster to begin with. http://www.mayorwatch.co.uk/tfl-announces-end-to-expensive-0845-help-centre-numbers/201324698 Hmmm 222 1234? I'm hoping that darn expensive (from mobiles) travel info line will be...

Hi, Looking for some suggestions for the follwoing journey: 3 Adults (no railcards owned or would be valid). Keighley - Glasgow on 09/03 arriving early afternoon. Returning anytime on 10/03. I'd also appreciate advice on me possibly going from Glasgow - Lancaster as early as...

Just wondering. If you were to buy an LM great Escape ticket for a Saturday, would it be valid for travel from London northwards on the 0034 or 0134 services? I've had a peek at the Ts&Cs and there doesn't seem to be any restriction on weekend validity. Obviously you'd have a bit of a...

TfL have announced that the first route to be run entirely by the New Bus for London (Borisbus) will be route 24 from Pimlico to Hampstead Heath - though no start date has been announced. http://www.tfl.gov.uk/corporate/media/newscentre/27090.aspx

Howdy - had a friend come to me for advice as "I'm good with tickets". He's not good at asking in good time though even though I keep telling him to get the bargains I get for myself I need reasonable notice - he keeps thinking there'll be some "last minute" deals. So to details. He...

Hi, Just looking for confirmation - I have checked the routeing guide and it looks OK but I'd like to check -especially as I'm advising my wife! On an upcoming Monday my wife will take the direct train from Keighley to London Kings Cross at approx 0705. On the following Thursday, early...

This article (http://www.busandcoach.com/newspage.aspx?id=7182&categoryid=0) would suggest that despite huge problems during construction, and dire predictions about how well it would do, the Cambridge Busway is performing ahead of expectations and persuading a good few people out of their cars.

Greetings. Found tickets for 2 for Keighley to Carlisle for £67.40 return route Appleby (or the same from SON) It's not horrendous but I was wondering if we can shave anything off. We need to be in Carlisle before 1800 on Friday 26/10/2012. We're coming back sometime not too early on...

Nice complicated journey to try and plan to try and make it easier and/or cheaper than my wife driving everywhere: We're not entitled to any Railcards. I have an EC-only season Leeds - London Kings Cross We're starting near Keighley, though we can get a Day Rover to anywhere in Yorkshire...
