Megabus, Greyhound and National Express are all extremely affordable (if your bum can survive the torturous seats).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6404321426535348396.post-21047042715410693852011-03-20T02:09:04.143-07:002011-03-20T02:09:04.143-07:00If you decide to reproduce at any point, the other...If you decide to reproduce at any point, the other good tip is to get a Friends and Family railcard. Normally kids under 5 travel free so people don't bother, but if you get the railcard and buy a kid ticket you and kid BOTH get a 1/3 off - which if (for example) you're going to London, will more than save the cost of the card (about £20) and the cost of the child ticket. Also means you get a seat for your bairn, which if you are traveling with a baby + carseat is damn handy.<br /><br />Unfortunately, the good work that this saving entails can be undone by losing the return portion of the adult ticket, which I have now done twice. One I found it and reclaimed the money, once I did not. It was painful. £70+ worth of painful.Margaretnoreply@blogger.com
