I am a bus ******.

My wife and I have booked a few days in Lyon via Eurostar/SNCF in October. All very nice and reasonably priced.

How to get to St Pancras from Bristol??

Cheapest train tickets Bristol to Paddington return for 2.......£142!!!!

Nat. Express coach return Bristol to Victoria return for 2.....£32.

I'll swallow my pride and save £110 to buy something nice in France.

I await rude comments.

How long will the coach journey take? is the extra time worth the savings?

Are people from Bristol allowed to travel to London? I thought we had rules about this sort of thing!

It's allowed, they just have to be quarantined and disinfected on their return to Bristol.

Have you tried the Best Price thingy at thetrainline.com? I've got it to £52 for the pair of you, return, on FGW to Paddington from Temple Meads at sensible times on sensible days. It's cheaper at stupid o'clocks. The train is bad enough, but the bus will be st.

Have you thought of trying liftshare.com or something similar?

Never used it personally as never needed to but I would give it a go

For an hour each way, yes.
Re Trainline the problem is that it is peak time and on a Friday which is never cheap. I agree it is normally possible to get good deals. Still it's all booked now so we shall see.

Don't forget to factor in the price of vaccinations.

Nowt wrong with modern coaches. Have taken one to the Alps for the weekend a couple of times.
