Replacement coach gets sent out from Woolley Edge.They normally have one parked up there. If none available it's Stotts Travel or Linburg who do the run.
I had one fail at Buchanan Bus Station on the M17 Glasgow to Southampton one Friday night. Parks sent another out but we then had to swap to another at Bothwell Services. I noticed there is a slight variation in seating between them.
Stopped serving Kent around a month ago. I'm not clear if it survives as a Gatwick-South Wales service: that journey does not appear on a list of departures on the Megabus website. Testing individual journeys, it seems the Heathrow-Gatwick link now requires changing to the Oxford Airline service.
Both routes were serving different airports - 260 Stanstead, M5 Gatwick & Heathrow. There was always a staffing issue with the M5 as Adventure Travel were meant to be operating the service, with Stagecoach taking over the running last minute.
M19 is Glasgow to Cardiff ran by Mcleans, definitely not London. Interesting name for the coach firm as well, not heard of them before.
Strange as it said M19 London Victoria and the legal lettering said "Birmingham Coach Company Ltd"
Nothing on the Bus Operator Search on gov.uk.
They ran a few local buses in Birmingham, most notable routes 6 & 16, before being renamed Diamond and eventually becoming part of Rotala.
Miss read it as Birmingham International Coaches
Birmingham International Coaches is owned by the same people who owned Claribels (the bus op who Diamond brought a couple of years ago)
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.
The risk with short journey and such a long route, the service could of come as far as from Hull.
Megabus normally only give any money back if you are delayed by more than 2 hours.
Hi, as someone who is originally from Caversham - if you have to head to Heathrow again, jump on the Elizabeth Line to West Drayton, from which you can catch a frequent London bus (no.350 or U3) to either T5 or Heathrow Central Bus Station (T1/2/3).
The M23 has been running for a month or so having been extended north of Newcastle (previously M22) through to Scotland. The northbound service leaves London at 2345 and arrives in Glasgow at 1310, having stopped at loads of places (Finchley Road, Northampton, Rugby, Leicester, Loughborough, Nottingham University, Nottingham, Tibshelf, Meadowhall, Leeds, York, Middlesbrough, Durham, Newcastle, Haggerston Castle, Dunbar and Edinburgh) on the way. I assume the 1645 south is the same Interdeck that works north.
To think that Rugby was once the key part of the operation, with a lot of the coaches carrying Midland Red South lettering. Rugby changeovers were a common occurrence on many of the north-south routes.
Wonder why this is
I see, I wonder who operates the service. The 1645 from Glasgow is quite useful to get to Newcastle after work.
Stagecoach interdeck route. First driver changeover going north is Tibshelf, assuming the driver can get there within their hours.
