Megabus sleeper service £5.50 tue-thurs @ Megabus (includes booking fee)

I should add before someone says... 50p booking fee to add on too. But £5.50 still won't break the piggy bank

Thank you to whomever edited my post!

Wow! Can't really beat that! Hot!

Not bad eh? I was keeping an eye on flight prices... This beats that hands down! (For price and not having to board a flying tin can I'll cry in for an hour and a half! Haha)

Not for me but a cracking deal nonetheless.

I'd usually say no to sleeper buses too to be honest! But I have to make it down there, and apparently "my meagre salary doesn't support frivolous, unnecessary trips to family weddings, hundreds of miles away from anywhere neither bride or groom have ever set foot" isn't a viable excuse. Who'd have thunk it!

Great value. Are the sleeper Megabuses any less of a zoo than the normal ones?

Haha. This will be my first time in one, so I can't help there... Yet! Perhaps someone else can help for now. Free refreshments though... Can't be TOO bad!

What's the difference between this gold version and the normal one?

If "Seats are subject to availability" and you arrive too late are you expected to stand up or sleep in the aisle ?

Oh no no, if they run out of seats they'll be unavailable online. I've been getting Megabus for years. They never run out of seats for booked passengers.

It's ontheir website... But from memory.. Free refreshments, comfort seats, more room etc etc. i can't remeber precisely. But for the sleeper service, overnight the gold service gets you a bed, whereas with the standard overnight service its just a normal bus seat! Uncomfy!

Haha oh I see! I retract my serious statement then... In its place, please read "hahaha!"
You never know on this site!

They look FAB... I'd go just for the experience of the bus..!

I used Megabus once and will never use again. Used them to go to the Paralympics. Got on at Meadowhall at 4am, ppl asleep over both seats, wouldn't move to let you sit down. My party of 5 ended up sitting in all random seats up and down the bus. Coming home we were early and waited for the next one to come home. We were the only ppl there when we got there. By the time the bus arrived ppl were like radid dogs pushing and shoving to get to the front. Wouldn't let us on as my sis has mistakenly printed off the out journey twice. Made us wait till everyone else had got on then after she had walked the length of the bus station to get confirmation that we had booked to go back, 3 of our party sat downstairs all apart from each other (as they were 72, 64, and a disabled 37 yr old. Me and my hubby got a seat together upstairs only to find that the reason it was empty was the fact there was a screaming kid that screamed for 7 hrs!!! The bus driver got off the M1 at Birmingham and randomly parked up on an industrial estate in the middle of nowhere in pitch darkness to change drivers. The whole experience was a nitemare from beginning to end. It's a good deal for ppl who want this sort of thing, but give me a train with a reserved seat any day of the week

If i was homeless I'd be using this a lot

oh wow! good luck! rather you than me.

the record is 2 days 17 hours twenty minutes and a few seconds average speed is 4.12 miles per hour

I might have a go i, wondering if 4.12 miles an hour is fast walking pace?
