You can pay onboard but it is significantly more expensive, especially on strike days. To the extent that you can book an hour before departure and get it much cheaper than paying onboard. It is a risk though to leave it that late as many coaches get fully booked and so won't take walk up passengers.

If you don't like the idea of the mobile tickets and stuff, tickets can be purchased at a number of agents (for a variable booking fee) or at any Post Office for a £1 booking fee.

Seeing as the 27th of November has been and gone.  Maybe I made it back ok.

This made me smile. I hope you did make it back.

Nope, I'm still walking back to this day.  Only a couple more weeks to go and I'll be home.  Maybe I'll make it home for Christmas.
