So the driver would not be getting much thanks from me im afraid.  

Ah yes because the driver, of course, sets the prices and does none of the hard work.

Apologies if this has been asked but can’t seem to find this one.  If I’m lucky to get through later on today and my departure for the Wednesday is sold out, if I click the back button will I be able to select Thursday then and try from there or will it put me back in the queue.  Thanks.

You'll be able to reselect. I think you can also reselect departure point too.

I slapped a nurse the other week because my hospital bill was expensive.

Maybe this has already been asked, had a search and can't find the answer. I'm trying for coach for me and the Mrs as mad as it sounds/is, we're taking our 3 yr old and 6month old. Do I need to book coach tickets for them?? TIA

I think so... I am sure that there is an option to select additional seats. I don't know the lower age limits though - as in whetherif the 6 month old will need their own seat.

Does anyone know how many coach tickets are up for grabs?

Popular guess is between 15-30k

Anyone know if when you select departure time (from London), is there anything that indicates the return time?

Question regarding return and single coach fares. Will they offer a single direction ticket tomorrow or is it just return fares being sold? 

Single fares are only available from Bath, Bristol, London, Reading and Taunton

[jimbarkanoodle]

As you can see, these fares are a huge rip off. £40 a SINGLE journey from London, which would cost a fiver on the Megabus.

If I lived any further away, I would certainly fly, as it would cost a similar price.

Does anyone have an idea of how many coaches go from Newcastle, only seemed to be 2 coaches at 10am on the Wednesday  this year unless they was an earlier departure Time for others

No one knows, not sure they will formally confirm it either

Hope it is more then 2 a day, I’m stressed lol

[Chrisp1986]

I would love to know if there was any issues getting tickets for my location last year, surely some locations are harder than others???

Has anyone taken a bus from Birmingham before? I'd like to know where the station is where it departs, if that's possible, thanks in advance!

I've been from Newcastle twice and both times the coach was at 0800. I think the last time was 2014.

Anywhere you can safely leave a car for 6 days in Bath or Bristol? 

What time did coaches leave Bristol last year?

Ah sorry - think I gave out duff info above! Thought it was available for all locations.

We want to get to the festival on thursday morning from Edinburgh. Our bus (independent of coach and ticket option) in 2016 left on Tuesday night to get there Wednesday.

Should I chose Thursday during sale despite the Edinburgh coach leaving on Wednesday? (Excuse the potentially ridiculous question)

[jimbarkanoodle]

If you are from Edinburgh, why not just fly to Bristol?

Sitting on a poky coach for that long would be very boring. If you fly, the journey is over in half an hour and you can start cracking on with the real fun (Class A's).

Unless things have changed this year you don't get a hint of the departure time until April / May... so you probably want to try for Thursday. Anecdotally you stand a better chance with Thursday as it sells out later too.

I'm sorry, I don't know the answer to that. I live up North. But just off the top of my head, you could always book the car in at Bristol airport?
