- Allow time to reach the boarding area and keep your booking confirmation easy to access.
- Review the luggage and ticket conditions displayed for the specific departure you choose.
- If you are changing transport after the bus, leave a comfortable connection time rather than assuming every service arrives at the same location.

Your arrival stop depends on the service selected. Before departure, save the stop location and plan the next step to your accommodation or onward connection. Local transport options, walking times and station layouts vary, particularly outside major rail hubs.
