Your first trip abroad by coach may seem daunting, but the process consists of a few straightforward steps. Get your documents, luggage and route to the coach station sorted.
Before the day of your journey
Check your documents and entry requirements, read the ticket terms and conditions, make a note of the boarding address and pack your hand luggage.
At the coach station
Arrive in good time, find your platform, and have your ticket and passport ready. Before handing over your suitcase, make sure it is labelled.
On the journey and at the border
Follow the crew’s announcements, note the return times after stops and keep your documents with you. Upon arrival, check all your belongings.
A quick checklist before your journey
- Arrive 30–45 minutes early
- Keep your documents to hand
- Listen to the driver’s announcements
- Check your luggage on arrival
Before travelling, check the current terms and conditions of carriage on your ticket and the rules for crossing the border on official websites. You can find a convenient bus service and compare departure times and prices on RedRay.
