    I'd ring them and get it changed!

    The buses at many peak times are mega busy these days. Literally filling a whole bus with bookings only.

    I rang them at 8:30 this morning and spoke to an unhelpful women who said a computer sends out the emails therefore the fault is with me?!?

    I would like to be on the 4pm bus. What are peak hours? My ticket is currently for 7

    4pm Friday is definitely peak. All buses between 2 and 8 will be very busy tomorrow.

    However the good news is that they often out on a second or third bus. So you should get on, but there is a slight chance you might have to wait till 5 if the 4 is full.

    I'm travelling in Saturday. But that's good! At least it shouldn't be too late! Thanks

    Oh, Saturday at that time should be quieter, but worst case scenario you will get on the next bus. There is usually a customer service guy there (or the driver of the bus) who will sign your ticket so you get priority on the next bus (after people with bookings for the next bus obviously).

    BTW I'm really surprised they didn't change your booking given that it was two days in advance, bad costumer service on Aircoaches part!!

    Hardly surprising though really is it - this is Aircoach we are talking about.

    I've heard a few people who have said recently that they are not allowed to take a later bus but are able to take an earlier bus, despite the fact the website says a different thing.

    I notice also that the small Newsagent adjacent to the Westmoreland St Bus Stop Forest,is now also an Aircoach Ticket Agent,or so the quite professional and noticeable sign hanging from the front sez.....not an A4 sheet in sight :p
