HurrahBrother Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 yes, coach is for 10, that's a nominal time, I suspect need to be there for 9 due to queue system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HurrahBrother Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 Its a constant feeder system to 2 bays from 1 queue. Based on previous years it is one huge queue, they pull in 2 or 3 coached at a time, fill them up, they set of and the next ones pull in right after them, turn around time between coach arrival and set off is about 10- 15 minutes. About 10 or 12 coaches set off over the hour. They do call out anyone with a ticket for X time about 30 minutes after that time is passed. I'd aim for getting there about an hour before the time on your ticket as the queue does get that long. Take good book/magazine to read and a large bottle water for in the queue.

venuss Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 Heathrow is so civilized in comparison .... maybe this is an option for instead of Victoria? one coach per hour 50 tickets sold 50 people one queue i get there 30 mins ahead of departure only because I like to sit up front but even if you arrive five mins before it's not big deal Based on previous years it is one huge queue, they pull in 2 or 3 coached at a time, fill them up, they set of and the next ones pull in right after them, turn around time between coach arrival and set off is about 10- 15 minutes.

HurrahBrother Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 Thanks for the advice, we are going to get an earlier train up to London, so we can get to the coach station about an hour before!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
