National Express Coach Prices

[DeanoL]

I think what people are missing is that the strictness of what coach you get on depends hugely on where you're going. If you're going to London or Bristol where there are coaches leaving every half hour it really doesn't matter, you just end up queuing and get on the first one out.

But if you're going somwhere further afield there might only be 3 or 4 coaches going there throughout the day (from each provider) so they'll be more stringent.

Are you sure? Mine was showing £69.30 + £1 booking, which is what I paid a couple of weeks ago.

Edit: There's different prices for very early and late departures isn't there. That would account for it.

Yeah mine is for the Thursday (sadly can't go Wednesday)

Best get booking ASAP I suppose

I'm guessing the NE coaches may be more stricter than the Seetickets coaches. It was a free for all for the Seetickets coaches last year!

There are two of us wanting to book NE coaches from Liverpool, going out early Wednesday morning and returning Monday lunch time. Does anyone else want to book with us so we get the 25% off, needs to be 2+ more people to get the discount.

We got National Express to London last year and got on a coach a couple of hours early. There were so many you could just get on any.

I think NE coaches are pretty laid back. Mind you we're alway managed to get out 12pm coach back. Always space though.

National Express is almost always delayed on the way there because they underestimate how much baggage people have and there always ends up being a few empty single seats and not enough space to put bags.
