Lisa Cuddy Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Aye, I'd rather get the train which'll cost at least 4 times as much. I'll need to wait about London for a few (well, just the 9 ) hours to do the same on the way back up. I did Aberdeen to Bristol, meaning I had to change at Victoria and had to wait around several hours between buses. This was before the station actually was a station. Instead, it was like a giant wind tunnel and it was Christmas. The following year, fog meant that my flight got cancelled and I had to fly to London instead of Bristol. I spent another overnight waiting for a bus to Bristol in Victoria, which by this time was a real, proper station with shops and cafes and stuff - which unfortunately shut at night. If you're hanging about during the day though, I'm sure you can find plenty to do. If nothing else, just walk around until you're knackered enough that you'll sleep all the way home! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikingTON Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Longest coach ride I've ever been on was Prague - Bristol to visit my folks. 27 hours inc. the channel tunnel and change in London. By the end I wanted to kill everyone on the bus. Not bad fo €30 though. Last bus ride for me was Dundee-Glasgow with a screaming death hangover. By the time it stopped at Perth Broxden I wanted to kill everything. Just everything. And it cost £25 return! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lambie's Pigeon Feed Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Anyone care to recommend a cheap hotel in London, all the ones on lastminute, laterooms, etc are still a bit pricey. I’ve used independent places you don’t find on these websites in north London in the past, but I don’t want to be in that part of the city this time and frankly I don’t want to rush back to any of those hotels. Can anyone recommend anything cheap and cheerful within walking distance of Euston, this would include the Kings Cross area which by all accounts is notorious for cheap hotels. And I do mean hotels, not “hotels” when it comes to Kings Cross thanks. Ideally don’t want to be paying much more than £50 as I’ll be staying in it myself so won’t be splitting costs. I know that’s not much and London is expensive but I’m sure it can be done. I’m only staying 1 night, a week on Saturday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breaking Decency Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Last bus ride for me was Dundee-Glasgow with a screaming death hangover. By the time it stopped at Perth Broxden I wanted to kill everything. Just everything. And it cost £25 return! There was a wasted guy that got arrested about 2 hours into the journey after abusing everyone on the coach, at one point even getting his cock out. He asked me (and several others before) if I wanted to give him a sly handjob. If I had a hangover and he wasn't arrested I definitely would have killed him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cracking, that'll be for me T in the Park on the 10th, Renfrewshire Cup Final against the smackheads on the 17th, then it all begins with a few diddy teams. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowden til i die Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Will pubs in Brechin/Montrose, or anywhere for that matter, not sell drink untill 1230? I assumed with the new laws they would serve from 10. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
