Looks like Ruby wasn't all that excited to see you 😆 lol. Shame for the lousy bus ride. I remember the unending plane journey you took ...i think from Brazil to Peru ..zig zagging all over South America. Anyway nice improvisation on the outtro !
Two summers ago my wife and I took our honeymoon in London, but we went to Brighton first. We landed from a 12 hour flight and then had to immediately take that bus ride, I thought we were never going to arrive! Enjoy Brighton and go see the White Cliffs of Dover!
Trains are much, much, faster and generally more comfortable. There are several train routes between Bristol and Brighton, either via Southampton, which is quite scenic, or via Reading and Redhill, which has mostly new rolling stock, is fast and also scenic. None of the routes go anywhere near London. The ticket pricing rules for trains are arcane; in general book a couple of weeks in advance and use the rail ticket office to help you. If you follow those rules it won't cost much more than a coach, but will get you to your destination faster than by car. Most rail stations are located in the centre of town. If you leave it to the last minute to get a ticket then you WILL pay a LOT. The online website for rail travel in National Rail Journey Planner. They will give you a price and the option to book online, but I have found that visiting the rail ticket office at the local station sometimes gives better options. Coaches between London to Brighton are usually designed to serve Gatwick, because Gatwick airport is used a lot for European holiday travel. Anybody who is familiar with UK public transport would probably use rail, there are trains every few minutes from London Victoria to Brighton and it takes around one hour.
Cos it goes through SW London and down the A23/M23 which is under roadworks. Better off getting the train from Victoria straight there, anybody from South London could have told you that. 😄 Btw, you've got to eat at Burger Bros in Brighton, they just got voted the best burger in the UK.
OMG!!!! I love Brighton,my daughter went to Law School there for 3 years and I enjoyed visiting her there. It’s so different from Toronto. ... my favourite was The Lanes for shopping. ... dont forget to visit Choccywoccydoodah, lots of chocolate in The Lanes.
Love Brighton, I'm from Ashford in Kent, girlfriend lives there every weekend straight down there gorgeous place and yes the lanes, not far is the lane where sting was sorting out Leslie Ash in Quadrophenia if you have seen the film. 😊
Next time you're going to Brighton from Bristol head on the train to weymouth out of Bristol at Dorchester west alight head for Dorchester south and then get to the train to Southampton there should be a train to Brighton from their.
@@WAYAWAYWithAsh possibly however I'm sure Ashley could find a deal that is a women's speciality. I assume you guys plan these trips sometime in advance you might get a discount you can get railway travel cards that cost £30 a year and reduces your fare by a 1/3. The relevant one for you guys would be the two together card which you'd register your names on.
Far easier Bristol to Paddington tube to Victoria to Brighton, book online in advance and save a fortune on the tickets, collect them from ticket machine at Bristol. Any of the train operators do advance tickets from anywhere to anywhere just have to try all to find the best deal or National Rail site.
National Express is awesome because it's so cheap, but I find it SUPER uncomfortable and the journeys are pretty long too. We usually try to sit as close to the front as possible for avoid any kind of motion sickness. Sometimes it's worth the difference in price to just take the train instead if you can swing it.
You really should be heading the other way into Devon, Cornwall and Dorset which are absolutely beautiful English counties. I wouldn’t recommend Brighton to tourists, it’s kinda scruffy..
I'm sorry about the bad weather, Brighton is a different place in the summer (when the sun's out, haha). That said, so is the whole of England, it's transformed during a warm summer.
High density urban area with no major thru roads so Greater London road trips are huge pain and if your bus does a few pick ups/drop offs on route then OUCH.
As it's Ashley I can forgive her for mixing up Bristol and Brighton (they both start with Bri). I liked the "text message" ending, I'm guessing they were in a pizza coma and forgot the outro ;-)
Really nice to see foreign visitors using our coach network, run by National Express and Megabus, it's very affordable and is truly a national network just like the railways, with frequent services on main routes and provide airport services as well. They often pull into bus stations in city centres, so connect up with local bus services easily too. Many coach stations have been modernised in recent years and have comfortable waiting areas, shops, cafes, bathrooms, helpful staff and information offices. Yeah, coaches are not as fast as the train, but they get you there. The buses are modern, often have wifi and charging points, are fairly comfortable, clean, have bathrooms and stop at service areas on the longer runs. Some of the overnight long distance services are really cheap, like £10 to Scotland from London, when booked ahead. You can also buy a coach card for discounts, useful for frequent travellers.
The country-side visible on your first bus ride looked charming and interesting. Thanks for taking us along even though it was so long 😃. The outro was fun!
@@WAYAWAYWithAsh Had a look for some reason its pricey from london but not from brighton the other way god knows our train companys suck but enjoy brighton the north lanes are lovely, full of quirky shops and the white rabbit pub there is amazing!
That was painful. I would have picked up the train from Victoria. I know its more expensive but its SO much easier and definitely quicker - just an hour from Victoria if you get the fast train
Yes, we started to build urban motorways in central London in the 70s, but gave up because it was unpopular and smashed down a lot of housing - and probably would have ended up being one huge traffic jam anyway. So nowadays, getting out of London is very slow in some directions. South is the worst - it can take well over an hour by road to do just 20 miles on the A23 route south through built up areas to the countryside.
Ah! I can't believe you guys were in Bristol! I literally live behind the yellow house! Have an amazing time in Brighton - head to Choccywoccydoodah (and drink yourselves silly with the most amazing hot chocolate!) xxx
If you ever come back to the UK and want to go to Brighton again then you can buy a return train ticket from London Victoria to Brighton for £10 each if you buy it in advance. The journey is only 55-60 mins.
It's a long journey because it's bloody miles away :)
ONLY 200 miles!😂
@@antonycharnock2993 200 miles on the M4 / m25 :)
It's 115 miles from my local train station to London and it takes just over 60 minutes. Brighton is only half that difference I think.
Exactly lol
Looks normal length to me, 10 metres or so? Wasn't even a double length bendy bus
You sir, are going places.
@@WAYAWAYWithAsh And I'll be sure to ask why the car to those places is SO WIDE
Why aren’t you taking the train instead?
Folkert Veenstra. Expect it’s a lot cheaper.
OMG you guys are at my most favourite place. My heart belongs to Brighton ❤️ Have a great time over there!
Looks like Ruby wasn't all that excited to see you 😆 lol. Shame for the lousy bus ride. I remember the unending plane journey you took ...i think from Brazil to Peru ..zig zagging all over South America. Anyway nice improvisation on the outtro !
Knowing the traffic in London probably no surprise. Should have gone by train if you wanted to do it faster.
It took me two and a half hours from Cambridge to Brighton on the train, direct service. £30.
Oh the National Express...song there somewhere!

I'm really excited to see your stay in Brighton! Cute outtro 😄
It's about 180 miles and you're going via the middle of a very big, congested city. How long were you expecting?

I think for sure the train would be faster... but quite a bit more spendy yeah?

When travelling by coach. Instead of going through London change at Heathrow it’s easier and more frequent.
Hope you enjoyed my home town =D
I repeat should have got a saver train tickets, when they got to Victoria.
Looks fun
Why oh why did you not take the train ?
Check out national express by devine comedy. Great song
Yeh, National Express don't seem to reserve seating anymore :(
Bye Travel Beans! Have fun in Brighton you two!
She looked so sad when she left them after they got out of the car. awww honey!

Yep, take it easy: take the train.
The train would only have taken about 2 hours !!
Why the wheather soo depressive in Uk
i wont .dont worry about it but i designed some machines for a british company . I think i refuse the job
You look like jim carey the hollywood superstar josh...
Distance and cheap!!! Everyone hates going on the National Express!!
The Bus didn't look that long average length really!
Get on the damn thing single and get off married with three children
There’s a reason why those of us in the industry call them “National Distress”..... 😂😂😂
I guess i should really appreciate the bus rides in Turkey after seeing this one :D
You can not get a good experience. Because it is not a Turkish Bus. 🤓😄
We miss you guys 🇹🇷

I was expecting when Josh got to Brighton only to find Ash was in Bradford, Birmingham or Blackpool :)

Always take the train. London to Brighton only about 60 miles but takes 4 hours on bus.
Love it, drove past the royal pavilion in Brighton this morning.,
Its miles away, why wouldn't it be long XD
4.20 you drove past my flat 😂
Train from london to brighton takes under an hour! Brighton is my home love it!
Right?! But how spendy is it?

What was the difference ($ / time) between buses and trains for the journey...🤔
Trains would have allowed sitting together...
I wouldn't recommend a bus to Brighton at the moment due to roadworks on the M23 for the new smart motorway system.
Back in my days (1980's) i once took a bus from London to Brighton. My return journey was by train. Never again!
So Ashley, can you keep Bristol and Brighton apart now? lol :)
Damn with that pizza, now I am hungry!
You're in Bristol, England and I'm in Bristol, CT.
Was that a "Perv" at the end? Hmmm???
The bus takes so long because London Victoria is the hub and driving in London is going to seem like you have aged considerably.

Now gone into liquidation unfortunately.
Our previous video was all in Bristol, check it out! But we have so many FUN things planned for Brighton.
If you ever come back to the UK and want to go to Brighton again then you can buy a return train ticket from London Victoria to Brighton for £10 each if you buy it in advance.
The journey is only 55-60 mins.
