Very easy to find, your search brings up free journeys and journeys you normally pay for. I've just booked 8 journeys from Birmingham to Leeds for 50p!!! Bargainous as I would do this journey anyway!

I booked for me and my partner to go to London for the day and cost 50p for us both. As soon as i did this though the site went down and i have been trying to book more for hours :-( probably too many people trying to get tickets.

Site seems to be working again now. I found a free one departing Cwmbran on 22 February 09:25 to London, Victoria Coach Station. There isn't a free return on the same day but the return I was looking at only cost £1 each anyway.

I tried a couple of searches.

The first, Stafford to London by train on 8th Feb, was just £3 as something like 2:45pm but the return journey given was back from London at 12noon the same day -- so 3 hours before I actually depart Stafford to go there then.

My second attempt was from Manchester to Carlisle (the nearest I could see to the Lake District). That came up as a bus journey starting at around 9:45 at night and arriving at half past midnight -- returning at around 6am on the same day, so about 15 hours before I set off then! The journey was listed as Free though.

However, I'm guessing they're only of use if you plan to stay a night or so as none seem to start early enough in the day to return at a civilised hour, the same day.

Booked 6 singles from Newport to London, in different weeks for the princely sum of 50p :j

Megabus return coaches don't work for me time wise so I'll be off to National Express to sort that out but I'm very pleased. This is a journey I need to do weekly so it's a helpful saving.

Thanks Martin
