Practical tips
Coach fares rise as departure approaches and popular days sell out. Booking well ahead gives you the widest choice of times and the lowest prices, and it spares you any last-minute, expensive alternative once you reach the station.
Buying a ticket on the day, especially for the train, can cost far more than booking ahead. Compare options online before you travel, and lock in your seat in advance rather than turning up at the station hoping for a deal.
London has several coach and railway stations with similar names, such as Victoria Coach Station and Victoria railway station. Read your e-ticket carefully so you know exactly where you will arrive and can plan your onward journey.
Bank holidays and summer weekends are the busiest times, and coaches can sell out completely. If your dates are flexible, travel midweek or at quieter hours, and never leave your booking until the last minute on those peak dates.
Missing the coach can mean waiting for the next one, which may be a long way off. Reach the departure point in good time, keep your e-ticket saved on your phone in case of poor signal, and have your ID handy.
