poppy123 Posted August 9, 2009 #2 Share Posted August 9, 2009 my advice would be to contact the coach company and ask them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did something similar with Princess/Eavesway a few years ago and from what I remember we had a lunch stop at a service area on M40 for about an hour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

upwarduk Posted August 10, 2009 #5 Share Posted August 10, 2009 It is 3 years ago & we went from Bradford. We had 3 stops, a short one of 20-25 minutes, a longer one, 45-60 mins, I am not quite sure my memory for so long ago is not precise and another shorter one. It is a legal requirement for the drivers to have breaks, so yes there is time to have a simple meal- the drivers have to, so there is time for you as well.

bridmo Posted August 10, 2009 Author #6 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Thanks all Can't make up my mind whether or not to have a breakfast at the Airport or to eat on route, maybe wait to find out time of coaches. We're staying overnight in hotel so the car will be there when we fly home. Bridmo :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fue-fue Posted August 12, 2009 #7 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Hi Bridmo, We're doing the same thing so if you manage to get any info please post it. We have had almost nothing from the TA except the bill lol. Cheers Paul Hi Please do post if you find anything out. Like Paul we've had very little info from travel agent. Ours didn't know that the free bus existed! But in their defence we did get a good price! We shall be doing the journey a day later on the 31st.

balf Posted August 13, 2009 #8 Share Posted August 13, 2009 I can confirm the info from the other posters - one stop of around 1 hour on M40. This would be a very late breakfast!! Remember you can always get something to eat once you are aboard. We have always had a very comfortable ride on the coach, it's the best way to travel to the cruise terminal, and no case lugging.

bridmo Posted August 16, 2009 Author #9 Share Posted August 16, 2009 Thanks again to you all another question: when your cases are put on the coach, do they automatically get transfered onto the ship or do we collected them off the coach and take them aboard ourselves. again thanks for any help :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianI Posted August 16, 2009 #10 Share Posted August 16, 2009 Once your cases are on the coach, the next time you will see them is in your cabin Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
