How to prepare for a coach journey in autumn
Зміст статті

    In autumn, you’ll need layers of clothing, protection from the rain, dry socks and plenty of time to spare because of the weather. Keep your essentials in your hand luggage.

    Start with accurate information

    Save the address, ticket and map offline. Check the date, time, stop name and any current updates from the transport operator. You can plan your route on RedRay.

    Allow plenty of time

    Don’t plan connections that are too tight. Traffic, border controls, finding the right platform or queues can throw a spanner in the works. Information on preparing for the next leg of your journey provides a useful guide.

    Belongings and safety

    Keep your documents, mobile phone, charger, water and any essential medication with you. Label large items, and check the rules on non-standard luggage before you set off.
