Answer 2

national express is good, they've got a deal with the daily mirror for £1 fares.

Answer 3

yeah, go by coach book your tickets online about 2 weeks in advance you can get a funfare. funfares are exclusively available online, and the earlier you book, the more likely you are to benefit from the best prices. funfares are only available as e-Tickets or m-Tickets.

e-Ticket is your National Express ticket which you print yourself (make sure you have access to a printer from the computer you book your tickets from)

m-Ticket is your National Express ticket sent directly to your mobile phone as a text message for a booking fee of just 50p.
