Why not try National Express, bound to be cheaper, can't take that long to get there.

some of you have obviously missed out the "cheapest" bit

the cheapset method would be to thumb a lift, for free

otherwise, find out coach timetables, some of the local operators as well as the bigger companies, less overheads etc

i remember going to derby from southall for £3 single, but then there were about 0 of us cramed onto the coach
