RanRan1 Posted August 8, 2015 #1 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Help. Can anyone tell me if the Princess Shuttle from the Victoria Coach Station in London has improved. I have read horror stories about guests arriving at 10AM and not leaving the station until 2PM. Should I think about private transportation to the pier in South Hampton ? :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emmak8 Posted August 8, 2015 #2 Share Posted August 8, 2015 In 2014 we had no problem. We had looked into other means of getting to Southampton . All were far more expensive than the Princess shuttle. It was easy to give the luggage to Princess and see it later in our cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RanRan1 Posted August 8, 2015 Author #4 Share Posted August 8, 2015 What time should I get to Victoria Station? Earlier than 10AM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishywood Posted August 8, 2015 #5 Share Posted August 8, 2015 The fast train from Waterloo departs every thirty minutes and takes half the time of the coach. Fare is around 38 GBP so $110-120 for two tickets. Only a pittance more than the coach taking into consideration the time savings and the risk that no matter how early you arrive at Victoria Coach Station the first departure may already be full thus the additional wait for a second (or third) coach to arrive at an open gate.

nsw104 Posted August 8, 2015 #9 Share Posted August 8, 2015 National Express operates bus service from London(Victoria Coach station) to Southampton Coach station several times a day.I booked online for September 6th, 15 pounds for 2 persons. Fares vary 1 or 2 pounds, depending on departure time. Cab fare from Southampton Coach station to the pier 10 pounds from what I've read. http://www.nationalexpress.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
