On closer analysis though, not a record that is likely to last very long. It took him 4 days, of which 12 hours were spent in Newcastle

You've obviously never spent hours on buses!How the feck does anyone get tired riding a bus?
I don't know what is more worrying, Premier Inn prepared to offer beds to unaccompanied 16yo's or you getting off on reading through his itinerary!!

Probably end up in the papers again in a few years time for sticking his cock in a bus exhaust or sniffing bus seats !!!

I did a similar thing in the 1970s when I had much more time than money. I got from Worthing to Mansfield using nine local buses. Took me 16½ hours and cost about £2.60. I was absolutely knackered at the end of it, which is why I didn't return that way!

Most of the bus companies were nationalized at the time and had the National Express chevrons logo next to the traditional name (Southdown, Mansfield District etc.). There was a 'Wanderbus' ticket (produced centrally for £2.40) which I think was just intended for unlimited day's travel on adjacent companies' services as well as your own. Well, nothing to stop me using this anywhere in the country, I thought! Did have to pay 20p to get from Loughborough to Nottingham though on the independent (and cheap) South Notts Bus Co, which ran double deckers with conductors despite the low fares.Blimey!
It costs more then that to just get from Lancing to Worthing.
