EFC1996 Posted May 20, 2022 Report Share Posted May 20, 2022 I’m working all day so I’ll be checking this thread to see if anyones had news. Much quicker than entering my details into the see order tracker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeyT Posted May 20, 2022 Report Share Posted May 20, 2022 Forgive my absolute ignorance but what do you coachers know so far? The day you're departing? So you're just waiting on exact time yeah? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes exactly this, and given most people live in another part of the country, the time is very important to the plan for the day and logistics of getting to the coach!

Do the coaches run throughout the day or does it tend to be mornings? As in surely no one will be leaving at say 6pm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you're just waiting on exact time yeah? Some departure points you booked the exact coach. (Bristol, London). The others we book the day but have to wait for this email to know the time. Could be 5am could be 2pm. If you're coming from the North or Scotland it can make a big difference to your plans! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazyfool01 Posted May 20, 2022 Report Share Posted May 20, 2022 Yeah that late departure up north is an absolute pain …. Fortunately the later one for me is 2ish and I’m an hour or so away …. Makes quite a difference to some Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going from Oxford which sometimes has AM and PM coaches so which coach I'm on will heavily affect arrival plans, camping spots etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A late departure on the Thursday would be awful for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thought would be that you would be assigned the times of whoevers space you ended up buying. Again, no idea but my thought is they probably assign times loosely when the tickets are first bought. If you get an earlier coach the earlier you actually get in and buy your tickets... you could have bought someones space who was in and purchased 1 minute into the sale. Of course that could be complete nonsense. Edited May 20, 2022 by DareToDibble Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. My last resale coach got me on a 7.30 coach from Brighton. We used to have AM & PM departures but they just switched to all AM so resalers just got what what was available.
