As a passenger we have all dozed off during a long road trip only to wake up with a very sore neck and the humiliation of being driven up the M6 with our mouths wide open. And as drivers we have all suffered serious fatigue and the inability to keep our eyes open which hopefully makes us pull of and “take a break”. Long journeys can be incredibly tiring but now there is a new alternative. Coach travel.
Now obviously coach travel is far from a new invention and for me personally it defines boredom and depression in one long journey. In my days as a student I completed many lonely journeys between London and Scotland and it is never something I looked back at longingly. However one particular coach company are introducing a better way to travel from north to south or vice versa.
Each 60 ft coach is equipped with 24 bunks and there are also seats available if you don’t want to go straight to bed. Whilst the service is considered to be a budget travel option, passengers are provided with free tea or coffee, toothbrush, toothpaste and an eye mask. There is also a nightlight and socket for recharging mobile phones and computers.
The service has already been tested out and most passengers said that they found it to be a most pleasant journey and much easier than trying to sleep in an upright seat. Next time you plan a long journey, do it in style and leave the Used Ford Fiesta Colchester car at home.
