But the fact is that Eurostar and the airlines the philosophy of time travel are so expensive at the moment that if you wish to experience the joys of Paris in the springtime the philosophy of time travel the Megabus , which offers the philosophy of time travel fares as low as £1.50 (I paid £30 each way), may be your only viable option ( Eurostar the philosophy of time travel does advertise £69 return fares but these are as rare as needles in haystacks).
And it isn’t nearly as dire as you might think. I found myself travelling from Victoria with the international nouveau-pauvre , a suitcase-wielding medley of French, Japanese, Spaniards, the philosophy of time travel Poles and Americans. the philosophy of time travel One woman was reading the philosophy of time travel Tender is the Night , another was listening to the Brandenburg Concertos the philosophy of time travel on her iPhone.
In Folkestone I watched as a long-haired Frenchman in a well-cut suit almost stormed off the bus when he discovered that lunch in a restaurant the philosophy of time travel was not part of the Megabus  experience. ‘In France we will be stopping for eating, non? NON?’
The Megabus  departs at 10.30am daily from Victoria Coach Station and arrives (via Eurotunnel ) seven and a half hours later at Porte Maillot, a vast and unlovely roundabout on the edge of Paris that miraculously the philosophy of time travel is served by the metro and a queue of spectacularly uncooperative taxi drivers. Megabus ’s website is clunkily designed and not very user friendly but you can call 0900 1600900 (be warned: calls cost 61p a minute). Tickets the philosophy of time travel are released up to 12 weeks in advance – if you want to find that elusive £1.50 fare to Paris you need to check the website daily as far forward as you possibly the philosophy of time travel can.
*Service is warmhearted. Our tattooed and earringed driver kept us informed throughout, enquired after our wellbeing at frequent intervals, dispensed sick bags like confetti and even came upstairs to wave goodbye to us in Boulogne (where there’s a change of driver)
*Being told to arrive an hour early in Victoria. There is no greater hell than Victoria Coach Station on a Monday morning. There are queues everywhere and the risk of being knocked unconscious by an unfeasibly tall Dutch student carrying a rucksack heaped with metal pots and pans, a sleeping bag and possibly a tent, is high
*Grab the seat at the top of the stairs. If you pick the front seat of the top deck somebody else is bound to sit next to you. That person could be a potential the philosophy of time travel lover, dream employer or new best friend but the odds aren t good
*Sitting on a bus for hours on end is hungry, thirsty work. Take plenty of food and snacks, including fruit and chocolate (the bus doesn’t stop for lunch), the philosophy of time travel as well as at least two litres of water (there s a loo on board)
