Bus (coach) travel

Travelling by bus (coach) in the UK is generally cheaper than by train. There are 2 major coach operators in the UK. The first, National Express (www.nationalexpress.com) have been in business for many years. They offer an extensive network of routes, however their prices are not the cheapest.

The other major coach operator in the UK is Megabus (www.megabus.com). Launched in 2003, they have the explicit aim of being a low-cost coach operator. Their network is expanding, and their services are the cheapest way to travel around the UK.
