Travelling by coach

[botswananbeauty]

This is my first time travelling by coach and are leaving Manchester at 6am Thursday. Does anyone know if the coach has multiple pick ups or is direct? Also do you stop at the services on route? Thanks

You could try and work out if it stops en route by putting in the car directions into google maps and comparing its estimated travel time to how long your coach takes to arrive.

Coaches normally travel through Birmingham from Manchester when heading south but with it being Glastonbury and high demand I wouldn't be surprised if they were all direct.

Is there a limit on how much you can bring on the coaches?

Thanks, hopefully it will be the same this year.

I'm not sure if there is a hard and fast rule. Our coach from London stopped at the services last year but the one that left later than us didn't.

Isn't it a rule that drivers must have a break every 4 (?) hours? If so I imagine there would probably be a stop from Manchester.

For what it's worth I never heard of a there being multiple pick ups any I've been on/heard of do one pick up and then to the site.

This is all the seetickets coach package tickets so if you mean NE coaches ignore the above as they could easily be different
