Gnomicide Posted March 29, 2022 Report Share Posted March 29, 2022 (edited) With this year's times not due out until w/c 16th May, I'm trying to gather as up to date a list of coach times and locations as possible to give people an idea. It's probably one of the most asked questions. I know there's an article in one of the local rags but that's a good few years out of date. So far I've got: Bath (Riverside Coach Park)Wednesday 6:15Thursday Birmingham (Coach bays Inge St. Side of the Hippodrome)Wednesday 7am; 10:45Thursday 05:45; 10:45Brighton (outside Sea Life Centre)Wednesday 7:45am; 9:30amThursday 9amBristol (Anchor Rd BS1 5UA.)Times prebookedCambridgeWednesday 6amThursday Cardiff (Tennis courts)Wednesday 5:45am: 7amThursday 7:30amEdinburgh Tuesday! 21:00; 22:30LeicesterWednesdayThursday 8amLeedsWednesday 7amThursday 12:00LincolnWednesday Thursday Liverpool (Outside The Empire)WednesdayThursday London (O2 Area) Times prebookedManchester (Corporation Street M600AL)Wednesday 06:00; 08:30Thursday 10:00Newcastle (train station little car park) Wednesday 10amThursday 8amNottingham WednesdayThursday OxfordWednesdayThursday PlymouthWednesdayThursday Reading (near the station/football stadium) Wednesday 10:30 am; 3pmSheffield (Pond St.)Wednesday Thursday 9amStoke (outside the train station) Wednesday 8amSouthampton (Outside train station) Wednesday Thursday 6amSwanseaWednesday Thursday 6amTaunton (Tangier Way TA1 4AS)Wednesday 6am 2:45pmThursdayYork (Sovereign St. LS1 4BX)Wednesday 7amThursday 7am; 8:45am Any more?

gooner1990 Posted March 29, 2022 Report Share Posted March 29, 2022 Thanks for this, I just asked this very question about the Oxford departure time/point in the Questions section on here! 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwhitehouse13 Posted March 29, 2022 Report Share Posted March 29, 2022 Thanks for doing this - will be watching for Plymouth info as using the coach for the first time and on a Thursday...hoping it's an early departure... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foggy1010 Posted March 29, 2022 Report Share Posted March 29, 2022 We travelled from York in 2019 and these were the times Thursday 08:45 Monday 16:00 (Return) We're travelling from Manchester (Thursday) this year so interested in the departure times, hoping it's early!

Kim Wrong-Un Posted March 29, 2022 Report Share Posted March 29, 2022 (edited) We got Thursday 06:00 from Manchester in 2019. CORPORATION STREET COACH BAYS, M3 1NX The location may change this year as there have been road layout changes. There was a suggestion on another thread of Hunts Bank by Manchester Arena which is where the return dropped us off. Return was 11:30 on Monday.

stuartbert two hats Posted March 29, 2022 Report Share Posted March 29, 2022 (edited) These are the SeeCoaches times I've had from Manchester: 2019 DEP WEDS 10:00 RET MON 08:30 2017 DEP WEDS 08:00 RET MON 06:30 2014 DEP THURS 09:00 RET MON 15:30 And yes, that Monday morning pack+hike in 2017 was terrifying, but I think I got on a later coach in the end.

DareToDibble Posted March 29, 2022 Report Share Posted March 29, 2022 (edited) Great thread. My friends are getting the coach from Cardiff for the first time this year so any info anyone has would be great! EDIT: Wednesday coach.

ilovelanegan Posted March 29, 2022 Report Share Posted March 29, 2022 Does anyone know if Bristol location is the same as previous years - Anchor Rd? Also on Monday, does it return to the same location or to the bus station? We've got on onward NatEx coach to London and I'm really hoping there isn't a big trek in-between...

EMCsquared Posted March 29, 2022 Report Share Posted March 29, 2022 Thanks for compiling a list been looking everywhere since getting Thursday coach tickets for the first time. Does anyone have any idea about Nottingham times? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark_safc Posted March 29, 2022 Report Share Posted March 29, 2022 First year that I've had to resort to buying a coach ticket. Usually drive down Tuesday and stay overnight somewhere close to drive in early. Looking at the Newcastle Wednesday coach time is giving me nightmares! If it leaves at 10am...possibly looking at pitching a tent at something like 8pm! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only say that in the past it was Anchor Road and as I recall that's where it dropped off too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach can be quite nice to not have to worry about journey or traffic, plus everyone is so excited, just pack carefully so you don't take anything that's heavy and unnecessary. Should still be some light at 8pm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rubick Posted March 29, 2022 Report Share Posted March 29, 2022 (edited) BRISTOL, 2019 - Anchor Road, 13.30pm (Opposite City of Bristol College, Postcode BS1 5UA) Was the same for us for in 2017 & 2016 too.

The Nal Posted March 29, 2022 Report Share Posted March 29, 2022 Taunton was 6am in 2019? Got the coach from there at 9.15am in 2016 and 2017. Leaves from here BAYS ON TANGIER WAY, NEAR BRIDGE OVER RIVER TONE, TA1 4AS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just love that feeling of being pitched up by mid day though...sun beaming and a warm can of beer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the things that grinds my gears is how many people in this parish put too much weight on being there as early as possible on Wednesday. There are up to 2m people who would happily trade our enforced late arrival (I'm going from a slightly further town on Thursday) for their current lack of a ticket. This is a time to count your blessings if ever there was 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hotchilidog Posted March 29, 2022 Report Share Posted March 29, 2022 2017 Brighton coach on the Wednesday was 7.45am departure Return 04.30 Monday! To be honest was a struggle on the Monday but thanks to a driver that knew how to avoid the Brighton rush hour I was back home and in bed by around 8.45/9am Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerqueen Posted March 29, 2022 Report Share Posted March 29, 2022 Slightly off topic but I notice that National Express has this on my confirmation email: "Please note that this service will be run by a third-party NX partner. Therefore, National Express Accessibility standards do not apply on this service. Please contact us.if you have special requirements to travel." Translation - the coach will be old, stuffy, cramped and generally shit. We also won't care if we leave on time or not although we wouldn't get away with this for any of our other routes.
