The coach service offering ridiculously cheap tickets from Bristol to London

The journey from Bristol to London can feel like a slog at times.

Whether you brave the M4 and M25 by car or by coach, or whizz between the cities on the train, there's no doubt the journey will leave a dent in your bank balance.

National Express and Megabus have had a monopoly on the coach market for years, but another coach service is also offering an incredibly cheap way to get from Bristol to London - as well as other cities across the UK.

Sn-ap offers tickets to London for as low as £5 a seat. It transports people as cheaply as possible from Bristol to a variety of cities such as London, Cardiff and Birmingham.

The catch? The coach only runs if enough people have booked tickets on to that trip.

It also allows you to book a convenient pick-up and drop-off spot, in order to ensure you are dropped as near to your final destination as possible.

Passengers can book online at Sn-ap.com and can choose from either existing confirmed trips or start their own trip and encourage other users wanting to travel to use that service.

You can also rate the service you travelled on, like you can with the popular Uber service app.

Thomas Ableman, founder of Sn-ap, said: “We are entirely based around the idea that the more people who use us the more services we can run.

“We rely on being affordable without sacrificing any quality which we try to maintain with every trip.

“We don’t necessarily compete with other services as we remain the best and cheapest option available to consumers.”
