Note: the UK has long-distance bus services which could get you a lot further. The challenge here was to use only local bus services (defined as those on which people over 65 get to travel for free).
- lostlogin 5y ago> long-distance bus service The National Express! I was too poor to afford the train so would use the busses. Often the bus was faster than the trains for London - Edinburgh, usually for weather related outages. The train is way nicer.
- Symbiote 5y agoThe train (London King's Cross to Edinburgh) is about 4½ hours, but the fastest National Express coach is over 9 hours. You were incredibly unlucky if the time you took the train had a 5 hour delay.
