I spend 50 hours on a Union Ivkoni coach from London to Sofia, Bulgaria. It was an uncomfortable journey, not just because of a lack of toilet.

I agree i am not taking up my bus pass for any journey over 1 hour let alone 15hrs, there is a time and age when you have to shit. Every single bus outside a local route should have a multisex toilet with room to move and toilet roll. That includes people with disability, they can put a simple coin system on it and it would pay for itself and make profit in a very short time.

@lparky4409 2 месяца назад

We went on coach tours with a toilet on board, the driver recommended we only use it if we really had to and used the rest stops, if it was used for solid matter he would have to take it to another coach station to have it emptied.

I remember waking up in what was then Yugoslavia to see the driver swapping places with his co driver, the bus was still barrelling along at 60-70 mph ! . I learnt my lesson after a back breaking 36 hours + journey, never ever again did I take a coach trip that was more than 12 hours.

@tiemanmalcolm 2 месяца назад

Ah! reminds me of a journey from Athens to London many many years ago, the driver arrived late at the Athens bus station wearing a cowboy hat, it all went downhill after that, the highlight was getting stuck in Switzerland and having to follow a taxi driver who showed us how to avoid the customs by going through farmland! I left the bus after that but we heard later about the brawl between the drivers and getting stuck in France because they had no money for the ferry! I’ll never forget the journey though, all part of travelling 😊

The longest coach journey I have ever taken was from Rockhampton, Qld to Perth, WA, Australia with Greyhound. That was in 1978. Little did I know then that I would end up driving for them from 1989 until 2004 before moving to the UK.

I remember years ago getting a bus back from Athens to London was one hell of a ride! The driver got drunk and tried it on with a pax. A few people stopped him. Literally swapping drivers without stopping. When we did get to London the driver had no idea where the bus station was. Thankfully myself another lady did so we directed him. Totally bonkers 😇

As a driver, the drivers room on the ferry is quite clean and airy. It’s bottomless drinks hot and cold. Food is mediocre and part subsidy £5.99 - £7.99 depending on what you choose. I’m on the Dover crossing next week, coach driving double man to Andorra. What an absolute gem of the Pyrenees

Really who would take the coach from London to Sofia? They are definitely not in their right mind! In 1979 I and my friends took train from Prague to Varna Bulgaria. We will never forget that two days nightmare journey, no drink no food and the toilets I leave it to anyone 's imagination 😮😢

You’re sacrifice for content is remarkable. Never ever would I enter a 50h bus journey. Especially when there is a Ryanair flight for probably the same price. I remember a school trip from Bavaria to London by bus wich got me really uncomfortable. As I’m getting older my limit is somewhere down to 3 or 4 hours

How much did you pay for that journey? There's no way it's cheap enough compared to flights to be worth it with the lack of food, drinks, power and bathroom.

@simond633 25 дней назад

You can look online - it's 250 Bulgarian currency, about £100 which might make sense if its peak time, you are very time-rich, have lots of bags, and take into account cost of travel to the airport

Last time I was at Bercy, I watched a chap casing peoples luggage outside in the park. The irony is, my grandson had left his back pack on a bench inside the bus station and it was still there after 90 minutes.
