    I can find them, I just can't find two that match up right, for instance, I can get return tickets for £2 each way for two of us, but I can't get an outgoing ticket that matches an incoming ticket date, so I can go on May 1st for example, but I can't come back until May 4th.

    Ideally you'd want a late outgoing ticket that gets you there the following morning:

    Departs 18:50 Milton Keynes, Coachway
    Arrives 08:50 Amsterdam, Zeeburg P&R coach park at Zuiderzeeweg

    and to come home on a late ticket that gets you home the next morning:

    Departs 21:30 Amsterdam, Zeeburg P&R coach park at Zuiderzeeweg
    Arrives 10:10 Milton Keynes, Coachway

    So you'd have the whole day there.

    Nice find if you can make them match or don't mind staying over :)

    how about........

    buy two return tickets each eg.

    2x leaving may 3rd returning june 3rd (use outgoing part)
    2x leaving march 3rd returning may 10th (use incoming part of ticket)
    so you would book 2x returns each travel 3rd may til 10th may throw away the useless parts of tickets or give them to a hitchhiker :)

    Found tickets that would get me a London-Paris return for £15.50, not so many left at the moment for £1 (I only saw 1).

    It's one to keep an eye on. At £15.50 it's miles better than the minimum £69 Eurostar!

    Thanks OP, am dying to go to Paris!

    My dad did that once with the ferry. However he had to pay the full fare because he don't use the "return" part of the ticket on the outgoing journey and they logged his car registration details. Cost him £159 one way. Just be careful it's called a return for a reason!!

    I had no idea you could get the bus from MK to Amsterdam!

    Not sure how comfortable it would be though, has anyone done it?

    They do single way tickets though, you have to choose an outgoing and an incoming separately so I don't think this makes any difference.

    A bit late putting it on the Martin's Money Tips as the £2.50 tickets were sold out 4 days ago. :wall:
