National Express coaches

Hi
Each year I book my parents coach tickets to where ever they are taking a break, , from Victoria to .......this year hastings was the aim.
Initially, when just searching National Express the return tickets where coming in at over £40, Searched again adding that important lil word "cheap" and got taken to a different part of the site, got the tickets down to £29. But I had noticed that when picking travel dates, the price was lower than what my end result was.
As mum n dad are in their 700's, I was putting in that they were Seniors, thinking for some ssilly reason that, this would be lower than an adult fare. But when I changed them from seior to Adult, I got the afore stated prices. So this year they are off to #hastings for £23 (£1 booking fee....for what I do not know, I did allthe work, and printd the tickets, they should pay me lol)
So any older persons, check what adult prices will be if traveling with National Express. I know I will be next year.

there prices are funny i regularly travel from cornwall to heathrow and usually travel from Truro , if i put in Camborne it always works out cheaper , both are same distance from my home just means travelling from camborne adds 45mins onto time but i save between £10 & £15 and on the return journey i get off at truro"If I know I'm going crazy, I must not be insane"0
