NormanH Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Some interesting new coach services are starting up at good pricesBéziers-Toulouse I see is 7€https://www.flixbus.fr/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idun Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 I wonder what it is like. I have used the Mega bus once and wouldn't again, but would do if I were fitter...... and younger[Www]OH uses National Coaches a lot and has used Eurolines into northern europe too and says that they are fine, even with long legs, enough room for him.I'm glad that there are now cheaper long distance coach journeys easily available in France. Didn't the SNCF start this a little while ago? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolybanana Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Thus far they have been very successful, have carried well over a million passengers and are very cheap compared with SNCF. Favoured by young people, of course.Called Macron buses after the minister who got them started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idun Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 I meant that the SNCF had started running a proper coach business, as well as the trains....is this what this is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gardengirl Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 That sounds pretty good Norman. I couldn't find any combination I would use from here, but it all seems very reasonably priced.I see it started in 2013 with 3 lines in Germany and it now looks huge. Deregulation has meant companies like these can flourish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EuroTrash Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 SNCF has had a coach service for some time - it used to be called IDBus and they've recently rebranded it as OUIbus. Very similar to Eurolines on the London-Paris run, about the same price and same route, their coaches are slightly better in that you're more likely to have an electrical socket and functioning wifi, but last time I looked the timetable was slightly less convenient for me.

YCCMB Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Every time I use the link and click on Londres-Paris it shows me Budapest-Neschwitz...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lehaut Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Our son has been using it Toulouse to Rennes since it started. 56€ special student offers SNCF, 47€ BlaBla car, 27€ with the Flixbus. All three take 10 hours. Comfy coach, charges for phones etc and wifi. They had to lay on three at Christmas as they were all full. Some people take their bikes. He is a student, so very happy with the service and the price.They had to alter the leaving time once so far, they sent him a text and phoned him to inform him of the change. You don't get that with SNCF (we know as second son uses the train each weekend). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
