    Yes but there is a big but to this offer

    You will be travelling on the commercial runs at the times according to the national express timetable. Therefore the coach to southend may have gone from barnsley stopping at sheffield, nottingham, peterborough etc, set offtoday and it may be possible to get there for kick off.

    More stops than the No. 9 Tracky bus

    Nice publicity for them then and few people end up taking them up on it!

    Does it stop off at that Milton Keynes stop...

    where if you were to get off you'd realise you were in the middle of nowhere, miles from Milton Keynes or Bedford, on some dual carriageway where there isn't even any pavements? A top stop that one.

    Oh, and in case you were wondering why on earth I would know this, no, I didn't lose my senses and decide to go to MK. I used to go to uni near there so had to get off there!
