Megabus services to Paris, Amsterdam, and Brussels

[Class 33]

I have booked to goto Amsterdam on Megabus in September. The total cost for the return trip from Bristol an outstandingly good value at just £2.50!! It's incredible that for such a trip like this is cheaper than I'd pay for a single ticket about 4 miles into Bristol city centre on First Bus(£2.90 single!). Only little snag is these Megabus services don't go right into central Amsterdam, and drops you a few miles away in Zeeburg Coach & Car Park which involves getting a tram. But hey, that's nothing!

Does anyone know if these services use the single decker coaches, or the new double decker coaches?

It'll be a single deck Plaxton, based at Rugby. (One of the new KX61 twin axle series)

what's the likelyhood of Megabus cancelling your tickets?

 

[mbonwick]

Why would they?

I used Calais to Dover yesterday on my return from our holiday, and there was a megabus coach in the queue next to us to go on the ferry. Was a single decker as stated above!

Low. I think there's been 1 report of this happening on this board with a Megatrain ticket.

what's the likelyhood of Megabus cancelling your tickets?

It was only a issue with the megatrain side of the tickets, it was due to the olympics where megatrain tickets are very limited.
