It seems that stagecoach are taking on National Express in a very forward way.
With the introduction of their 'no holds barred' or should that be 'no frills' cheapo bus service from London Victoria to Birminham at just £1.50 a pop total cost. This seems like a very brave adventure for the travel company and with only 5 passengers on it's maiden voyage, it's going to be a costly one.

However if it works, we could possibly soon see cheap trips from say Sheffield to Paris for about a £5-£15 via this method.
May not be the most comfrotable, but damn it's cheap.

I'll stick to flying there for less than 20 quid thanks - coach rides suck at the best of times, especially when ya got long legs :)

Still not bad from London to Birmingham tho £1.50!
If they do a Sheffield to London for summat like £2.00 then that would be worth a look... especially if it went to the airports!:thumbsup:

I'd get a coach to Leicester if I could save a few quid. At the moment it's more expensive to get the National Express instead of the train, and the train gets there in half the time.
