Coach
Travel to Edinburgh
Coach travel is another way of travelling to and from
Edinburgh. The bus takes you right into
the centre of town. And it’s usually
the best choice for budget travellers.
Edinburgh’s bus station is St Andrew Square. Recently refurbished, this new and
clean-looking station now boasts computerised monitors that tell you when each
bus is leaving from, from which stance.
(This may not sound impressive if you’re used to International travel –
but you should have seen the old bus station!)
Go by Coach is the leading online service for UK bus
travel.
Another advantage of bus travel is that you can see more of
the country. (The one disadvantage of air travel, in my opinion,) It’s also great if you live far from a
mainline station. And some people just
prefer the bus.
Go by Coach have a great online booking system. And here’s the best part. You can even print off your ticket on your
own printer. It’s security coded. So you just hand it to the driver of the bus
when you board. How cool is that? Hopefully, one day all travel tickets will
be made this way. Here’s hoping.
Read the ticket information carefully on the site, as you’ll
probably find a bargain tucked in all the small print. I know, it’s confusing all those
options. But take a few minutes and
you’ll undoubtedly save some money.
