Practical tips
Fares rise as departure approaches and seats run out fast. Reserve your coach online as early as you can rather than buying at the last minute, and you will usually secure a much better price.
London has many stations and coach stops. Read your e-ticket carefully to confirm where the coach arrives, and plan your onward Tube or bus connection before you travel to avoid ending up at the wrong place.
Bank holidays, Friday evenings and summer weekends are the busiest times. Book as soon as your plans are fixed, or travel mid-week when coaches are quieter and fares tend to be lower.
If you are heading to Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted or Luton, never take the last coach that gets you there. Choose an earlier departure and check which terminal your flight uses before you set off.
Save your e-ticket on your phone and take a screenshot in case of poor signal. Arrive at the stop in good time, as coaches leave on schedule and the driver will not wait.

Booking online gives you an instant e-ticket on your phone, so there is nothing to collect.
British fares move with the day, the hour and how early you book, so the smartest move is to reserve ahead rather than pay on the day, especially around bank holidays and summer weekends when seats sell out. Check your e-ticket for the exact pick-up and drop-off points in Ramsgate and London so you never head to the wrong station. Book early, arrive at the stop in good time, and you are all set.
