I have found that very early or very late in the day are thd best times to get through. The coaches can be a bit hit and miss, we once had an old one that was leaking rain in through the windows that were not water tight. We have had Ellison's coaches on other occasions and they were excellent. There have also been other coaches that were good but I can't recall the names of them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbadossunshine Posted July 25 #153 Share Posted July 25 (edited) First time using the coach service in June and it was excellent. The coach was an Ellison one and was clean and comfortable with Toilet, Wi-Fi and charger point. All the drivers excellent as well. And kept us informed all the time as well. Only downside for us it was a long journey from Glasgow/Southampton and return. Plenty of stops on the journey, cannot fault the service from inter cruises at all, had absolutely no issues getting through to them at all for booking coach and the email was sent to me for confirmation while still on the telephone to them.

Tables with TVs etc. very comfortable swivel seats - great luxury. Our cousin recently travelled Eavesway from Preston on Man United coach. It had its own fitted kitchen, TVs on every seat, private tables, iced water dispenser and full air con. We have had a few poor coaches with Intercruise, even when Ellisons turns up its still poor compared to Eavesway. However our last coach from Preston was the worst one yet. The guy had travelled from East Yorkshire to collect us on a coach that probably had its best days 40 years ago. It reminded me of a school bus as most seats were theadbare and stained, a couple of windows opened, no air con, absolutely no leg room at all and he asked that the toilet was only used in emergency as it wasn't working correctly. He had been on the road for a few hours already with no pickups, so stopped at services within 30 mins and continued stopping at services approx every hour to take a break. Took us 9 hours from pick up at 7am to drop off at 4pm with no traffic hold ups. A couple we met had travelled Eavesway from Preston and were eating lunch onboard at 1.30. The coach back was better (Smiths I think) but even that had issues with toilet not working and cramped seats. Intercruise should have a standard that all coaches have to meet and if they dont a refund should be given to passengers. NB We got the train for the next cruse. Departed Preston 7 am eating lunch onboard by 12 noon. Will get the train in future if Eavesway n/a. Edited July 25 by Mymarina Bay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CountryStyleMe Posted July 25 #155 Share Posted July 25 I used Intercruises for my travel from a pick up in Bristol down to Southampton to catch the P&O Cruise Ship Britannia back in July 2023. I can't fault them totally flawless service and coaches were really comfy as well. I only had to phone them once and got through within under a minute, and everything sorted there and then with no problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
