Megabus/megatrain website...

Does it ever work? I keep trying to get on it recently and it's always 'undergoing maintenance'! It's driving me mad! :eek:

It can be painfully slow, but it normally works.

It normally works, always seems to go down about midnight which is coincidentally when I remember to go looking for tickets LOL

Word of warning though, even Tesco couldn't get the Megabus site to accept their tokens - they've agreed to refund me £5 of vouchers

I've been looking to book trains in early January (Derby to London). It doesn't seem to be able to come up with any fares. Anyone know why this is? We are within their booking time range - it just can't find fares after Christmas.

Could be not released yet - Megatrain have a shorter booking period than normal trains - and it's shorter for their trains than for their buses

Or it could be a day they are not running - don't know for this route but they often don't offer fares at weekends.

Was wondering if anyone knew if you are able to see a timetable for the megatrain routes?

I was going to see if there was any cheap tickets I could get for part of a route between glasgow and london (because I know they don't do a straight route)
I haven't been able to find any fares but I don't know if its because I'm looking too far in advance or if the trains only run on certain days.

If anyone has had any luck with any of these routes let me know

thanks!

The website used to have a timetable but if it's there in the new version I can't see it.

The fares don't come out that far ahead - 6 weeks max. The fares on some routes don't apply on one or more of Fridays Saturdays and Sundays - it varies.
