    Cheapest way to get to Europe from UK ? By coach ?
    Are those cheap coaches a good offer ?

    Also, do they only go from London ? Not manchester or anywhere else ?

    How much would the coach cost ?

    I have accomodation confirmed so that won't cost me, I just plan to get to France first then make my way around.

    Depending on where you are going, it could be cheaper (and more comfortable) to fly. Have you had a look on EasyJet, etc.

    Look at the international Megabus trips that go into France from London. It takes ages but you can go for literally a few pounds. Sometimes you can find some dead cheap flights too so take a look around at various budget airlines. If you can fly without hold luggage you'll save yourself a lot of money.

    Eurostar may have cheap offers sometimes (same as Air France), especially for young people (15-24) .
    Easyjet is defo the cheapest from all the uk cities but London.

    I'm a parisian studying in Bath and always choose one of these 3 options for my homecomings.

    Lol !! but that website does not link to international locations ? That's a UK based website.

    I need a coach service going from London, or even Manchester, to France.

    You'd probably be best booking Manchester too London separately.

    Megabus, but you'd probably wish you were dead by the end of it. Plus you can travel from all over the UK, not just London. :borat:

    Well, if you actually looked at that website you'd see that they have international services to say, that well known French town, Paris. Goodness me, is it really that hard?

    Where do you want to go in France? It all depends on that.

    I just looked on Megabus and found a one way trip to Paris for a mere £15 from London. Not bad at all compared to Eurostar say, of course a bus does take 8 hours but you may not be in a rush.

    EDIT: £4 on 20 June. That's absurd.
