THIS WAS A BAD IDEA ! 4 coaches over 3 nights Glasgow to Gibraltar.

Published 2024-07-21
Using National Express Glasgow-London, Flixbus London-Paris and Paris-Madrid and Interbus Madrid to La Linea. Long coach itineraries are always an adventure. This adventure was a tough one. Will I ever try this type of itinerary again? #nationalexpress #flixbus #interbus

Filmed July 2024 | Glasgow, UK.

    What did we learn? That Scott is tougher than the SAS and twice as crazy. Total admiration for the quality of your videos.
  • @mats7492
    The driver London-Paris is the GOAT.. so much stress and problems on that journey and he still took time to help his passengers exit his coach
  • @AlleyCrockett
    Waiting for the inevitable Glasgow to Shenzhen on national express coach. Scott you are a madman
  • @AndrewHepburn
    I never travel without noise cancelling headphones. It’s the only way to cope with fellow passengers talking, coughing, eating, playing music etc.
  • @steve-marsh
    How is it possible to make a torturous journey like this into such a hilarious video? :D Well done Mr Manson, you're out there on your own with these, it was like I was there with you. Thankfully, I wasn't.
  • I can’t lie when I saw this video pop up I burst out laughing🤣 you’re absolutely off your nut mate, big respect to u🤣🫡
  • @deebee192
    I did London to Manchester Victoria Station on flixbus a few years ago. The journey was genuinely terrifying. Several passengers contacted the police as they were so afraid of his driving. He had several near misses and was constantly beeped at by cars, busses and trucks as he was driving so dangerously. He was also verbally abusive to passengers. I reported him (and sent videos) of his dangerous driving but flixbus denied any issue. I hope they get shut down. It's great to get inexpensive bus tickets but when the driver is irresponsible or as dangerous as our driver was, it's not worth the risk.
  • @ukdavepianoman
    Funny how a bad idea turns into a great video. I'd never do this journey this way but hats off to Scott for showing us these options. Loved the background music - not obtrusive and a nice reminder of the final destination.
  • @BoskiM
    These kind of journeys you need to start well. The Glasgow to London night journey is a killer. That will set the tone for the rest of the journey
  • @Nooticus
    Havent even watched this yet and I can assuredly tell you that you’re becoming one of the legends of travel youtube. Your pain isnt going unnoticed Scott!
  • @DaveyPalmer1
    That was tough going Scott. No pain no gain I guess and I'm sure your viewers enjoyed it. Thanks for taking one for the team! 😅
  • @SarethGouthgate
    Its the enormity of it all. "Here we are in Madrid". Having started in Glasgow. Its unbelievable. Bravo sir.
  • @yyyfffff33333
    After your trip to Sofia, I'd have thought you'd have learned your lesson !
  • I grew up in La Linea. Huge smile when I saw the inside of the bus station. Nice one Scott.
  • @anumeon
    Blessed be those youtubers that suffer for our entertainment. I love your excellent videos. :)
  • @youssef16844
    I can just hear that Spanish busdriver blasting "Master Of Puppets" on repeat throughout the entire ride. 😂
  • @colinj58
    I really do like your videos scott this one takes me back a few years when I used to take people to benidorm and alicante by coach from Edinburgh glasgow Liverpool London we used to pick people up all over the uk that would take nearly 10 to 12 hours before we got to the ferry and then flat stick to Spain and beyond every week from 1982 until 1988 hope you enjoyed it
  • Can't thank you enough for posting this...as it reminds me why I fly BA to Gibraltar every time I go there.....
  • @RobinPalmerTV
    I wasn’t expecting the town I grew up in to be featured. Knutsford is more than just a service station thankfully. What a brutal trip. I’m 6’6” so the idea of coach trips makes my knees hurt just thinking about them.
  • @tanya2448
    You are crazy....Reminds me of my biggest coach trip, Perth to Melbourne Australia. That was 30 years ago I never done another overnight bus trip again. Still traumatised.
