Coach Services Terminating Short Of Destination

[extendedpaul]

Following Megabus Twitter today, they have terminated several services short of destination, notably a London to Edinburgh service which only made it to Newcastle. Several to Cardiff have been halted at Bristol.

Wondering if there is a legal liability to get passengers to their destination as with rail travel ?

I don't think so.

Depends on Contract Law, but I suspect operators specifically exclude causes outside their control.

Remember its SCOTSLAW megabus works under on Cross boundary routes. There might allow them to travel on a different jounrey going by below? but again it would be unclear when that would be, or your end up like yesterday on the M80 where coaches were sat for nearly 20 hours

15. Our right to amend or cancel
We reserve the right to alter any timetables, suspend, cancel or withdraw services, or terminate a service once it has commenced, with or without notice whether before or after you have bought a ticket on the service, and to substitute an alternative service or refund the fare and transaction fees.

A lot of NX services for Devon and Cornwall were terminating in Bristol as was services to South Wales.
