    Megabus General Discussion

    It's the main London - Leeds service, and is basically anything not continuing beyond Newcastle to Scotland. The stopping pattern could be as limited as Sheffield only, with most trips doing Leicester and Sheffield.

    Route that goes round loop twice - is this unique?

    That bus gate was appallingly unreliable, and a nightmare to reverse away from if you got there in a bus and found it broken. The local children enjoyed "riding" it when it went back up, and the mechanisms couldn't cope.

    National Express Coaches Discussion

    The 315 ended up feeling like a bit of a slog by Plymouth, let alone arriving in Helston!

    National Express Coaches Discussion

    It may well be more efficient to pair up a long trip with a shorter one

    Megabus General Discussion

    Try emailing customer services and explain your situation. They may give you a voucher if not a "proper" refund as a gesture of goodwill. Delays do happen.

    A word of warning, when I last caught the 110 it left 3 minutes early!

    Trips by Bus and Coach: Your reports

    Thanks to both @TheGrandWazoo and @RELL6L as always for their comprehensive trip reports. I'm envious of all of it, but in particular the community bus trip. I love those weekly services where you feel like you're intruding a little in the closed shop.

    Stagecoach acquisitions since 2000

    Not sure if Robson's of Thornaby was in the date range you requested, or 1999.

    Trivia: where indirect routes are more frequent between towns

    Thanks. The perils of hurriedly checking times via Google Maps on a Friday evening!

    Trivia: where indirect routes are more frequent between towns

    Middlesbrough to Hartlepool - 41 mins on the half hourly 1 via Seal Sands, or 70 mins on the 36 via Stockton which is every 20 mins (but was every 15 for many years).

    All a bit drastic to save 49p

    Bingo buses since 1986

    Geographically random, but Stagecoach had(/has?) the B1 in Mansfield and the 477 in Stockton

    Bus Map North Wales

    Arriva's site does have some maps, but you have to be in their page for a particular town to find it. Try googling Arriva Holyhead to find their map of Anglesey, and Arriva Bangor for their Gwynedd one. Doesn't help much with the independents though.

    Hulley's of Baslow

    For info, I used it on Sunday from Castleton. It arrived at approx 1040 and left at 1115. I think they are going to do quick turns at the Baslow end (due to the connections) and have recovery time at the Castleton end. It's a good trip - I think you get the best scenery going towards Castleton...
