i need a really cheap coach fare from poole to london?

Question

Preferablly like a fiver max! I looked on national express and it was like 40 quid, does anyone know of any really cheap deals? thanks x

Answer 1

If you can get yourself to Bournemouth Uni, you can catch the Megabus. You don't say when you want to travel, but fares seem to start at around £5 - £8 for Megabus or Megatrain (also available from Poole). The longer you book in advance, the cheaper it will be.



Do you have a Young Person's coachcard? If so you get discounts on National Express coaches. Look out for Nat Express funfares - fixed travel times, but pretty good value.

Answer 2

Try the train. Its more frequent and much much faster than the coach. Advance purchase fares are reasonably priced and an annual railcard will give you a 34% discount

Answer 3
