Seeing Britain's Tourist Attractions by Coach
Coach travel however, does offer a good alternative to train travel. Every tourist attraction is served, and coach operators have put together timetables that have been constructed to allow you the most amount of time in your chosen destination.
Early Starts and Rolling Hills
As navigating Britain is not the easiest thing to do in the world, with many roads becoming congested, many coach journeys kick off early; 5am and sometimes earlier are not uncommon. That said, the early start is worth it. You arrive at a good time at your destination and you have plenty of time to enjoy it. Leaving early and cruising to your chosen attraction also allows you to see Britain's landscape as you sit in fairly comfortable seats. The windows on coaches tend to be huge, and good views can be had no matter where you are sitting. A trip to Stonehenge or Alton Towers for example, will take you through some of England's green and pleasant land, as well as interesting urban areas as well. A visit to Edinburgh or Glasgow will show you some of the rugged Highland beauty as well as two impressive cultural cities. There is a lot to be seen as you travel through Britain by coach.The Coach
Depending on the type of coach you opted for, you may be offered refreshments and often coaches come equipped with toilet facilities. This can help the journey time roll past, and everyone loves a good cup of coffee or tea. Even a standard coach will be comfortable to sit on, and you can read in relative comfort or sit back and relax and listen to music. Or enjoy conversation with your friends and family travelling with you.Coach Driver
Another aspect of coach travel is that you do not have to worry about the driving, or finding your way. Coaches come with a driver, and this driver has been paid to move you from A to B. There is something chauffer like about a coach driver which is also appealing. Good coach drivers will keep you up to date on traffic news, and will tell you what to do in the event of emergencies and how to find the coach when the day is drawing to a close. Another aspect of not having to drive yourself is that if you feel like a beer you can have one. Not the case if you were behind the wheel. You also do not have to worry tiredness which often occurs on a long trip.
