Return journey is the 325 1250 Manchester-Birmingham. Coach provided by Veolia, Birmingham (You might know Veolia better by their previous name of Connex - I'm ducking now to avoid any objects being thrown by forum members south of the Thames:D ). They currently have 25 identical Scanias with Irizar PB bodywork:

I don't know if you are aware of this, but NX 'funfare tickets' are available from Manchester. Similar to the Megabus concept, single fares from £1 are available to Birmingham & London, more details on the NX website http://www.nationalexpress.com/ That should save you a few quid to use on train trips elsewhere in the country:)

Thanks dave47549, so now I know what to look out for, Im getting excited :D. Ihave hared about 'funfare tickets' and they look good value so I might look around and try to get a good deal. This will be fun to see what the different transport experiences are like.

Greetings Dave and welcome to RF. enjoy the site and all it has to offer. Happy bussing.

Ive just finished my exams! :D All were great. And to make it even more pleasing when I finished this afternoon, I came home to find my NX tickets have arrived for Saturday. Let the fun begin. ;)

Im back from my trip, have to say I have had a great experience with NX today. Dave47549 you were absolutely spot on with the coaches:
