The route details are wrong, but you do get contact details for the Megabus website and call centre, where you can eventually fight your way through to the timetables.<br /><br />How much easier it was in the old days. As RC169 pointed out last week in comments on an earlier blog, there used to be a nationwide coach timetable book - the ABC Coach and Bus Guide. For major towns in Great Britain, you could see which places were served by coach, and look up the times and fares, without needing to know the names of the operators. It's a pity it can't be done now.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01965936499218384410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7432323264902617108.post-50515771172282082552012-12-17T16:27:34.966+00:002012-12-17T16:27:34.966+00:00Thanks Invicta - but you must admit it does sound ...Thanks Invicta - but you must admit it does <b>sound</b> a little weird!fatbusblokehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06833340546527596517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7432323264902617108.post-7722825972780163152012-12-17T09:35:01.004+00:002012-12-17T09:35:01.004+00:00Actually, that Middlesbrough stop description is a...Actually, that Middlesbrough stop description is accurate. The bus station is partially on two levels, and express coaches do indeed stop on the upper level, just to the left of the big block shown here in Streetview: https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=middlesbrough&hl=en&ll=54.576732,-1.238869&spn=0.000012,0.006856&geocode=+&hnear=Middlesbrough,+United+Kingdom&t=h&z=17&layer=c&cbll=54.576562,-1.238875&panoid=puoZgPdYPGdYQtqFa3VLbQ&cbp=12,171.05,,0,0Invictanoreply@blogger.com
