Often regarded as the grubby cousin of train travel, the humble coach has a lot going for it and this Christmas it is going to be a lifesaver for thousands who have had their travel plans thrown into doubt.

Perhaps it's the association with expeditions as opposed to commutes but I've always enjoyed the bus. How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
While the trains are up tucked up in bed, hard-working coaches continue into the wee hours. Many a late night in a neighbouring city has been facilitated by the night bus. With the balls of your feet still burning from the dance-floor, what a treat to slink into a dark comfy seat. Unlike the fluorescent glare of the train which forces you to gaze at your own pale phizog, and those of your fellow passengers, the dimmed atmospheric lighting of the bus means you can watch the streets flash by.
