Need to go to London for cheap? Try Megabus.com!

Post by Waz »

Book early, and you'll be able to get to London and back for just £1 each way, plus a 50p booking fee. They do allow one reasonably sized item of luggage on there, and they do either 70 seat coaches or 93 seat megadecks, depending on the length of journey.

NOTE: You can book up to six weeks in advance, so start looking there around the end of July to get the best and cheapest seats.

So, you can go to London from the following places using Megabus:

Birmingham
Bournemouth
Brighton
Bristol
Cardiff
Chesterfield
Dundee
Exeter
Glasgow
Leeds
Leicester
Manchester
Milton Keynes
Oxford
Perth
Plymouth
Portsmouth
Ringwood
Sheffield
Southampton
Swansea

So if you live anywhere near any of those places, you might want to save loads of dosh and use that instead. Just imagine you're going to Glastonbury without the mud or something..

I'd go for my airbus. :wink:
I have booked my flight through Basiqair.
Rotterdam - London (and back) for 40 bps total price. :D
The good thing is I can bike to the airport (15 minutes) check in 15 minutes before take-off (small airport) and arrive in London the minute I left Rotterdam. 8)

I'm comingggggg!
And, please don't forget Retro Gamer Issue 1, Chris. :wink:
