 GeorgieKL's recommendation | |
Friendly and extremely efficient ticket-booth staff
Value for money service
Runs on time!
Manchester station is comfortable, new and warm!
You can eat and drink on the coach (though not HOT food)
Comfortable coaches
Easy to use Online-Ticket service
Better than train as you get a guaranteed seat
Punctual
Digbeth and Milton Keynes stations are run-down
I booked my tickets online using my National Express 2 (student) card, and was amazed that I could get a return ticket from Milton Keynes to Manchester for just £12!
Unfortunately I arrived at the terminal just as my coach was leaving, which I accept is my fault - but PLEASE NOTE: if it says on your ticket that the coach leaves at 10am, it WILL leave at 10am and won't wait for latecomers.
So I went into the ticket office and explained that I had just missed my coach, so the chirpy and polite ticket-man changed my tickets to a slightly later bus which had to detour to Birmingham mid-way (this was not a problem for me as I am familiar with Birmingham).
The coaches are fairly standard and reasonably comfy, toilets are available(though i didnt use), and rubbish bags are available. Basically this is what you would expect for £12.
The journey was painless and I even arrived home 20 minutes earlier than planned.
I would definitely recommend this to a friend - especially as students get such a great deal!
