Coaches direct to Leipzig from Selhurst Station .

FlixBus from Victoria station as well, it takes 21 hours, but it’s a lot cheaper than flying and it’s door to door, well once you get to Victoria it’s door to door!!

Had a quick look at that option and it shows changing at Berlin which extends the Journey to 22 plus hrs and costs to around £400 return 😩
The other day it was only about £180/200 return .
Think the ones from Selhurst take around 18/20 hrs .

Sadly I only started my job in April so a bit early to get the time off. Albeit the coach seems a great option. Door to door and I would have thought 3-4 stops on the way. Took 7 hours to Newcastle a few years ago.
And that was only 270 miles !
 
I can't do long coach trips.
My last time was the Play Off Final in Cardiff 2004.
We left Selhurst and broke down on the A3, waited 2 hours for a replacement coach and nearly missed the ko.
7 hours to go less than 160 miles.
I swore I would never travel again on the coach.

Myself and my wife travelled to the South of France and back by coach in the late 80s , Took over 20hrs each way and we had table seats, Found it impossible to sleep , Coaches will be more comfortable these days , I imagine .

You're correct, coaches are more comfortable these days, you get a cup to piss in instead of stopping off at the bushes.
Happy travels and COYP!
 
Who’s signed up for the coach? There are four of us joining at Maidstone Services. Not going to lie, a 17-hour journey isn’t filling me with excitement, but it should be a good atmosphere!

You will be sick of "were on our way to Leipzig & F~ck UEFA" before u get as far as Folkestone.
 
Years ago I was in a bar in Bombay the evening India won one of the cricket world cups, T20 I think it was, honestly i have never heard the "Made in India" song so many times in an evening my flippin life.
 
FFS, what a journey. Zero leg room. Not too bad going out, lots of stops, approx 18hrs. Coming back started with a 7hrs stint to Eindhoven and swollen legs, half the coach seemed to have the same. By the time we got back The right leg is bigger than the left leg, they've gone down a bit now but still not back to where they were. 15 coming back but only one stop in Europe
This was by no means a Shearings coach trip.
Never again.

They did say the Arse supporters are facing 31hrs each way.
