This offer is a con. Although it says in the offer that you can "choose your date and time to travel", and even encourages you to take advantage of the offer to do your christmas shopping, and to visit family and friends, the only tickets offered to me for the £1 price tag were between 11pm and 6am!!!!! How am I supposed to go shopping at midnight? And I'm pretty sure my family wont be too impressed if I turn up on their doorstep at 1am!!!! There is NO mention in the article t's & c's about these restrictions, and they only show up when you log on and try to purchase your tickets. I have sent this information to Watchdog, and I would encourage you all to do the same thing, as the more people that complain about the misleading advertising, the more likely we are going to be to get the prices that they quote at a reasonable time. If anyone does manage to find journey for £1 at a sensible time, please let me know they route that you have found it on, as so far I havent been able to find any. What a con!!!!!!!!

The key to happiness is managing expectations..
The Advertising said "We've got thousands of £1, one ways fares available on National Express coaches, exclusively for Daily Mirror readers."

so don't expect every fare to be £1.. when I checked from S!!!!horpe half the fares are £10.50, but half the fares are £1 ..(but there is only on National Express bus from S!!!!horpe per day and that's to London).
I don't think your anger is entirely justified

i had a look and to be honest, i wanted to go to manchester in december and would probably want to leave at around 5.30 or 6, and there was a fare for £1 at 5.30, ok the one going out in the morning at 9.00am was £2.50, but £3.50 in total for a return from Liverpool is quite good

Is there a reason you can't reply to the original post rather than starting another one quoting it?

I don't think you have any understanding of how Forums work.

Besides, the original vent was about the MIRROR's offer, you haven't even titled your post correctly.

Numpty.
