BBC News
A man who has used the government's £2 bus fare cap scheme to travel hundreds of miles across the country is now planning a trip to Poland. Andrew Cowell, 47, from Derby, previously travelled 137 miles to Whitby, North Yorkshire, and 320 miles to Cornwall.He said the trip would take about two-and-a-half days.Mr Cowell, who works in railway operational planning and describes himself as a "bus adventurer", said his latest trip, planned for 21 June, would be "a little bit different" as it would not be relying on buses in the £2 fare scheme alone.
"The whole trip will take about two-and-a-half days. That's a day to get to London and a day-and-a-half to Krakow."He said the fare between London and Krakow would be about £65, while all of the buses between Derby and London would be within the £2 scheme."It's a reasonable save but you do have to be on a coach for 36 hours. However, you do get to have dinner in Paris on the journey.
