Please note: We have a mix of coach types on our services, some are fully enclosed, others are open-sided. Your seat allocation guarantees you seats for your group, but we cannot guarantee that all travellers will be seated in an enclosed coach on days when the weather is wet. Please see our FAQ page for more information.

Your tickets are only valid for the dates and times chosen. Please note that we do not issue printed tickets, all you need is your order number for the guard.
