Anyone tried EuroLines?

Widelats

As i am scared to death of flying i decided to seek out land travel. I would like to know what they are really like, there are mixed reviews on Facebook for them, some horrific ones of being left in a foreign country and having to sleep in petrol stations, others say they are great.

Anyone tried them for a long distance Euro trip? I would like to know about your experience of these, they are part of National Express.

Rather, National Express is part of them.

Do be aware that journey times are very long. If your holiday time is limited then consider the trains: Eurostar to cross the channel and onward...

used them once and wouldnt again although it was just a driver problem , he was on his mobile phone and was eating crisps whilst driving and annoyinly arrived back in london nearly 3hrs early as he took the tunnel instead of the ferry
i now use megabus although they can be hit & miss but havent personally had a problem

Widelats

I will look at Eurostar yes, and Megabus as long as its a sensible price.

Thanks guys.

Widelats

Actually, neither Eurostar nor Megabus go to Denmark

No other option i think than Eurolines.

Have a look at seat61

http://www.seat61.com/

for info on international rail travel. It will be far more civilised than going by bus and can be quite cheap if trains are booked ahead.

Widelats

ok i will take a look at that, thanks.

Widelats

Yes seat 61 looks ok, i could get a cheap ferry to Netherlands then a train to Copenhagen, plenty of ways to get there, many thanks.

Get the ferry from Newcatle to Amsterdam then a train or bus onward?

Eurolines are great if you're on a budget and enjoy reading.
