National Express £1 funfares are back!
Options
We all remember the dark day when National Express's FunFares went to being "from £1" to "from £5" - a 500% increase!
Well I am pleased to announce that £1 fares have been reintroduced - but only if you go via a special web site. Go via the normal web site and £3 is the lowest fare you'll be offered.
Many £1 fares are available for as soon as NEXT WEEKEND - on Fridays and Sundays as well as the less popular midweek days and Saturdays, in stark contrast to Megabus whose fares for next weekend are now nearly all above £10 each way.
As an example, I have just booked Newcastle to Leeds return for next weekend, Friday to Sunday, for £3 - made up of £1 there, £1 back, £0.50 booking fee, and £0.50 mobile ticket fee. The same journey on megabus would have cost £15 there, £15 back, £0.50 booking fee, and £0.10 mobile ticket fee - 10 times as much!
So if you're looking for a last minute getaway, National Express is your friend this week. It's certainly mine!

It doesn't say that you need to show student ID or anything, I think the student thing is just an excuse to give a different fare#145 Save £12k in 2016 Challenge: £12,062.62/£12,000.00 Beginning Balance: £5,027.78 CHALLENGE MET

but what's gonna happen if they do ask? i'm tempted to use this and was a student until last year, but ain't anymore. very weary. = has anyone used this yet, i've seen our bus station checking students etc before, hence why i'm so weary about it.

Hmmmm Im trying to find out if any ID is required. It doesn't say otherwise if you need to be a full time student or not.
Im tempted to book too, but would be a bummer if I turned up and couldnt get on.
Haha I 'look' like a student - maybe that will suffice!0 -
I'm getting it tomorrow. I'll let you know whether they ask for Student ID or not#145 Save £12k in 2016 Challenge: £12,062.62/£12,000.00 Beginning Balance: £5,027.78 CHALLENGE MET

nothing mentioned about having student ID anywhere? just looks like they give you a discount on the £3 funfare price.0

They didn't ask for ID on either the outward or return journey!#145 Save £12k in 2016 Challenge: £12,062.62/£12,000.00 Beginning Balance: £5,027.78 CHALLENGE MET
