Anyone used the megabus before

Just booked the millwall weekend using megabus £19 return leaving on fri afternoon till sun afternoon.Never used it before and wondered if anyone on here has used it. Staying with millwall friends so going to be a cheap london weekend and 3 points.

 

not used it yet but planning to go to London on it in late May sounds a good deal though

 

Yes it great value for money, used it several times. You get the bus to East Midlands then a train in to St Pancras

 

Nice one mate. Not used it yet but will keep it in mind.

Mrs T booked the train weeks ago. leaving Hull early doors and getting the train back to Hull @ 7.50pm Just checked again and the same Millwall trip is now well over £100 each for the same journey.

Cost £40 for the 2 of us day return. Happy with that one. Its London and i hate driving in London.

Doing the same for West Ham but Mrs T had to pay £48 for the 2 of us for that one. Book early as Fred Pontin used to say.

 

That Hull Trains website is a nightmare

 

Indeed. Mrs T said that just 20 mins after she had booked out tickets that the price was upto £35 each. She has a heads up on train travel thankfully. We always use it for London. I hate London.

 

I think Megabus does seem a good option if you want to save on money as long as you are prepared for longer journey times of course. As for booking train tickets, I find takethetrain.com the easiest site to use as shows the cheapest combinations of tickets first and you can filter certain times out. The East Coast website is also good as you can book tickets that also cover any underground travel to the stadium which is really useful as it covers you in case of delays on the Underground.

 

Aye ive used it once and there were no issues and didn't take me much longer than train would have, just be ready to find a seat on the train from East Midlands Parkway as alot of the seats seem to be reserved but they're not for people who are on Megabus. Im probably using it next weekend to see some uni mates. Alot cheaper than the train if you don't have much notice.

 

Yeah seems fine if you don't have a few weeks in advance, the only problem is the return journies don't seem possible on a match day though seems to be the only main problem but 2 hours longer than Hull Trains seems quite a bit longer to me but for the price you can't argue, get what you pay for and all that I would consider using if money was ever an issue.
