How do you get the cheap megabus prices?

It's says from £1 with a 50p booking charge.

I can't seem to get anything like that.

How can you get hose prices, or even double that I wouldn't mind.

But my prices when I search are en or twenty times those advertised prices

You might struggle to get them....

Misleading indeed

How can they get away with this

You just need to book well in advance.

Right now you can go from Birmingham to Sheffield for £1 on June 20th, 21st or 23rd. Plus the 50p booking charge, of course, making a round trip £2.50.

It seems they can't any more. According to the Independent article they've been told to stop advertising in this way by the ASA.

I went from London to Brussels and back for a fiver each way, travelling on specific days - definitely possible to get some cheap deals if you're booking in advance!

I used to get them by waiting up on the day before they became bookable and look to be the first person to book the journey. I do suspect there is only one such ticket per bus though - it's a loss leader to allow the big claim but I have been Norwich to Birmingham for £1ew (Not running any more) and Norwich to London

Megabus, Hull to East Midlands Parkway cost is £10.40. The cost of Hull to London ( you get off at EMP and catch a train into London) is £2 cheaper. Very odd.
