London easybus.com bad deal ✈️ Foro The Independent Traveller (English) ✈️

It's a new shuttle bus service from London Victoria railway station to London Luton airport - yet another service in the easy family.

They advertise one way travel for £2 when bought on their website - but so far the cheapest fare I was able to find was £3. You can pay the driver £7 - but you have to wait for all those with tickets to board.

They are not really buses - more like 12-seater mini buses with 2 seats reserved for storage of all luggages and 2 passengers seating next to the driver. Small uncomfortable seats, cold, overload and the journey is very bumpy.

Anyway, I booked one, printed out the electronic ticket/voucher, went 15 minutes before the departure time - and bus never came.

After 40 minutes I boarded the next bus - which lost it's way somewhere between London and Luton trying to avoid the traffic jam on the motorway.

As a result I missed my plane and had to pay easyjet £35 fee for putting me on another flight.

On my way back I did not even bother with easybus - they run only every 40 minutes and there is a long que waiting for them so you are never sure you get on it.

National Express runs their service called GreenLine for £10 - every 20 minutes, comes on time, aircondition is working and you can sleep on 2 seats.
