What is the Address of the Bus Station/Stop?
With the search results from CheckMyBus, you can easily check the exact address of the station or stop. You can check this for both the origin as well as your destination. Each result displays information about the departure and arrival stations. In addition, you can check out which amenities the bus provider offers. If you’re not sure if you’ve entered the right information or want to double check, don’t worry! All coach companies show a summary your purchase before you pay. Naturally, the addresses of the stops also appear on the bus ticket.

What to Do if the Coach Leaves or Arrives Late?
Generally, bus companies do not respond to delays they’re not directly responsible for. This includes fortuitous events and delays due to legal or administrative requirements.
In case the cause of the delay is attributable, passengers must make a formal claim to demand the corresponding compensation for damages caused. Following this, the passenger must demonstrate the damage and/or economic repercussions by presenting all the invoices and pertinent receipts that prove this.
If there’s a breakdown during the trip, the bus company must find and pay for the alternative means necessary to take passengers to their final destination as quickly as possible. For any lodging or maintenance costs, the company must take care of this.
Some bus companies, such as Greyhound, offer a bus tracker that allow you to search for a bus based on its schedule number and date or arrival and departure cities.
How Much Time in Advance is Necessary to Take the Bus?
Naturally, there are several factors that affect the amount of time needed to arrive at the bus stop. For domestic trips, with the ticket already printed and without special luggage, it is usually enough to be roughly 10-15 minutes early. However, when it comes to international routes, it’s a good idea to arrive at the station at least 30 minutes before the bus leaves.
Do you travel with your bicycle, with a baby carriage or do you have special needs when travelling? Companies recommend arriving at least 30 minutes ahead of time to avoid possible unforeseen events, regardless of whether it is a national or international trip.
Our recommendation: it is always better to arrive relaxed and with time to spare than to arrive running or even miss the bus for arriving too late.
What Do I Do if I’ve Missed the Bus?
If you miss the bus for reasons beyond the company’s control, each company has its own regulations. Therefore conditions for modifying and cancellation may differ. In the case of National Express, you cannot amend your ticket after your scheduled coach departs. You can however amend your ticket online for £5.00 (£6.00 if done via telephone) prior to your coach’s departure. Similarly, you can also opt for the Fully Flexible Fare. This allows you to make unlimited number of amendments prior to your departure time without an added fee.
Can Unaccompanied Minors Travel by Bus?
In most cases, children who are 14 or older will be able to travel on their own. This depends on if they have authorization from a parent or legal guardian. Both megabus and National Express require passengers who are under 14 to be accompanied by someone who is at least 16. Passengers between 15 and 17 may only travel without an adult if they have written permission from a legal guardian.

Dear Mark,
we got feedback from our IT: Error 14 is due to iPhone reaching its maximum memory capability. So the problem doesn’t seem to be from our side.
We hope we could help and kind regards

Hi I have found a coach ticket that I am interested in but when I go to view deal it takes me to National Express and I called National Express regarding the times of the coach and they did not have a coach time the same as the one you are advertised. I am confused, please help?
Thanks

Dear Hasy,
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Which bus route did you search for via National Express? Generally, we receive all of our station and bus route information from our partners, so it should be matching. With more information we can take a deeper look and find a solution.

Please advise on how I can get a refund. The 8 pm coach
From Nottingham to London on the 16 July did not turn up. I waited over an hour and got transport there and back. I had missed my appointment and had to buy a national express ticket the following day.

I was looking at travel from Dagenham to Lichfield. I have never done the journey before and your times show only from the London stations, not from Dagenham, so presumably I would have to find out buses/coaches/duration separately. Also, buses go to Birmingham, but it looks as though transport goes into Birmingham first, and then I have to make my way to Lichfield, not something I would want to do too late for safety’s sake and because I am disabled. Have I understood this correctly Thank you.
CheckMyBus-Support
Dear Susan,
Thank you for your message. The first stretch of your journey would involve taking regional London transport. You would travel from Becontree, Five Elms School to Charing Cross, Trafalgar Square. Then from Charing Cross, you would travel to Victoria Coach Station. From Victoria Coach Station, you would then utilize intercity bus transport via National Express to get to Birmingham Coach Station, Digbeth. Then, you would need to travel 15 minutes to the Birmingham, Tesco Express to travel the rest of the way to Lichfield City Centre via the X3 regional transport. Please note however, that as an intercity bus price comparison portal, our search engine primarily focuses on intercity travel with companies, such as National Express. If you have any further questions, please feel free to get in touch with us again.
