Hi Amy,
Thank you for your message. Unfortunately, there aren’t any direct buses that travel between London and Ripley currently. You can travel from Stansted to Heathrow Airport, then from Heathrow to Woking, then once you’re in Woking, you can travel to Ripley via regional buses. If you have any further questions, please feel free to get in touch with us again.

Please advise where the pick up point for the Cumbernauld to Perth Bus service is located at? I wish to travel to Perth on Thursday 6th February.
Thanks
Richard
CheckMyBus-Support
Dear Richard,
Thank you for your message. The pickup point can vary depending on which coach provider you plan to travel with. For example, if you’re travelling with megabus, the station will be at Cumbernauld, Town Centre Bus Stances. In case of any changes, the final pick-up point should be on your final ticket once you book. If you have any further questions, please feel free to get in touch with us again.
Best regards,

I have arranged to pick up an elderly neighbour returning from Birmingham to Burnham on Sea Somerset Wednesday 22nd January by National express coach presumably changing in Bristol.
How can I find out time of arrival in Burnham on Sea in order to pick him up.
CheckMyBus-Support
Hi Brian,
Thank you for your message. With National Express, you can track the coach to get a good estimated time of arrival and see if there will be any delays. You can visit the coach tracker at national express on the company’s website or download the app for free. If you have any further questions, please feel free to get in touch with us again.

I’m searching ticket Colchester to Manchester the results only show flights london to manchester
CheckMyBus-Support
Hi Steve,
Thanks for reaching out. We double-checked and it seems there is no direct bus from Colchester to Manchester and that’s why you’re only getting flight results from London to Manchester. If you want to travel by coach you’ll have to split your trip in two. First travel from Colchester to London and then from London to Manchester. Hope this helpful. If you need more information, do not hesitate in contacting us again.
Kind regards and happy holidays,
Your CheckMyBus Support Team

I am very disappointed as I have filtered the amount of passengers necessary , I see a good deal , then go to purchase it the website says there’s no seats available, so my issue is why show such deals if its not even available.
CheckMyBus-Support
Dear Kim,
Thank you for your message. Please notice that CheckMyBus is an intercity bus price comparison portal, so we don´t sell the tickets or operate with the buses directly. In this case, buses companies are directly the ones that publish their availability depending on the route. We always try to notify our users about the availability of the tickets.
We will work on it to avoid these issues happen again in the future.
Best regards,
Your CheckMyBus Support Team

Hello,
I am searching for buses from Stansted Airport to Bournemouth Bus Station for January 11th. I am being shown fares all day for £17.92. Now when I select the 8:50am fare and was redirected to the National Express booking site the price is £29.10.
This is extremely frustrating, as I already booked by flight to Stansted based on this bus search. Why isn’t CheckMyBus showing accurate fares?
CheckMyBus-Support
Hi Warren,
Thank you for your message. We apologize for your booking experience. Unfortunately, this was the result of an error on our side which we are currently investigating. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
Best regards,

hello,
I have a few questions prior to me booking with you.
My bus route journey is Newquay to London Heathrow Terminal 4 22 March 2020 and return April 24 2020.
Q1. Where are the Newquay stops?
Q2. How long would be a safe estimate to rebook return journey after a flight back from Australia to catch bus
Q3. What happens if we miss the bus?
Q4. How many stops are along the way for the journey above?
hank you
CheckMyBus-Support
Dear Tania,
Thank you for your message. Please note that many bus companies only allow passengers to book two to three months in advance, so you might need to wait closer until your arrival time before you can book and have an exact idea what the bus schedules will be.
1. Newquay has a variety of potential stops, from the Newquay Central Station to Watergate Bay and Manor Road. When searching for a route from
Newquay with our search engine, you can filter the connections by the available bus stations to travel from one that’s most suitable for you.
Please note that the final station will be printed on your ticket.
2. Generally we suggest leaving yourself at least an hour to be able to travel through customs at the airport, though many companies, such as
National Express or FlixBus offer a flexible fare option which would allow you to ride a bus within 24 hours of when you booked your trip in case
your flight is late or early.
3. If you miss a bus without the flexible fee, you will typically need to book another bus for the next trip. You can usually do this at the airport
or bus station if need be.
4. There are direct bus connections available between Newquay and London as well as connections with one change. This will depend on which bus
company you choose to book your trip with.
You can find and compare different bus companies, prices and travel times by entering the route in the CheckMyBus search engine along with your desired travel date. If you have any further questions, then please feel free to get in touch with us again.
Best regards,
Your CheckMyBus Support

You can find and compare all available bus connections between two cities by entering your departure and arrival points as well as your travel date in the CheckMyBus search engine.
