Sun 25 October 2009 bus travel
Edinburgh, St. Andrews Sq Bus Stn - London, Victoria Coach Station
3 seats = £15.00 (3 passengers)
11:00 Depart Edinburgh, St. Andrews Sq Bus Stn

So that would be £48 all in return for 3 adults (£8 each per journey), would you be cheaper paying petrol costs?

I've had a look at the maths and I can't believe how cheap the bus seems.

Say four of you share a car that does 40 miles per gallon, the journey is 405 miles.
You need to buy 10 gallons of fuel, at £4.59 per gallon, thats £45.90.
Split four ways is £11.48 each per journey.
(If the car does 35mpg then its £13.28 etc).

The bus works out at £8 each per journey.

With the bus you are guaranteed a return journey on the following sunday.

Go on you know you want to...
