I Took a Mystery Coach from Birmingham. You'll Never Guess Where To!

Let’s Make a Trip!

17,453 views

In this weeks video, I'm back at Birmingham Coach Station where I took a National Express coach on a mystery tour. Where did I get to? Well, I'm not going to reveal much in this description but if you watch closely and listen to the voiceover, there are plenty pf clues along the way!

I'll be showing you the interior of the coach, we'll talk about the places we visit along the way and of course, I'll be telling you how much I paid for the journey. I think it was a bit of a bargain but as always, I'll be interested to hear your thoughts in the comments section.

I'd also like to know if you got the final destination right and, when you guessed it. A bit different for me this one but I hope you enjoy it anyway. Thanks for your support and I'll see you on the next one.

Cheers for now,

Mark

Greetings from France.
That was a nice video. Also great to see my hometown, Leicester, although it isn't what it was there.
I was at the bus station just last week, taking photos/video of buses. The National Express drivers seem to have a good sense of humour, as one also driving the same sort of coach, that was departing the bus station gave me a military salute! LOL

A belated chuckle at "I'm going to head to my hotel" - that must have been an exhausting walk....

As I've finished all my bus duties for the week, and getting the Dublin to Holyhead ferry tomorrow

I would definitely love to see more of these mystery trips. I do not know much about East Lincolnshire so I was caught a bit off guard. It was lovely that also Johnny and Stu came to pick you up. I would recommend next time that a mystery journey but on a train.

Good to see the layout of a National Express Coach as a future user myself it's good to know what to expect. The rest of the video was very informative too.

A very clean comfortable ride that reminds of my missus 😂

The security in the bus station are brutal, even being on a call triggers these bullies with cards on the arm

We always used to take a mystery coach trip when on holiday at Morecambe. It always used to be somewhere new up in the lake district but it was always good fun to explore new areas of the lakes :)

Knew it was Grimsby when I noticed Louth bus station 😂

@Teesbrough 5 months ago

My first guess, as you were passing Moor Street station, was Great Yarmouth. I worked out Leicester and guessed Grimsby as you headed onto the A46 towards Newark. However, after Lincoln I dabbled with Mablethorpe or Skeggy.
Great idea. More please! Especially with such a low fare. 👍🏻

@garrymartin6474 5 months ago

I had an idea when you reached Newark , from Lincoln it was either going to be Grimsby/Cleethorpes or Boston/Skeg Vegas. I would like to see more of these 👍🏻

Nice one Mark. I didn't have a clue until you said the destination !

@paulcarruthers2431 4 months ago

Even if no one wants to get on or off we still have to get there. The magazine mesh they . The passengers use the to put left over food in .

@chrisb2792 5 months ago

When you mentioned the A46 I immediately thought the destination could be Cleethorpes, where the road starts (or ends). As a coastal tourist town it sounds more likely than Grimsby but I realised when you started talking about fish that it must be the latter.

@stephenmcgeown 5 months ago

I was guessing Norwich but the lack of Alan Partridge references made me lose confidence. Nice idea, love to see more!

@paigeellis2004 5 months ago

Would love to see more of these mystery coach trips! Got the destination but actually I enjoyed guessing the stops and cities/towns even more while mapping the route in my head playing detective. Most fun I’ve had watching a YouTube video in a long time. Keep em coming mate! Certainly wasn’t expecting the 2 dodgy looking reprobates accosting you at the end! Next time make it harder with connections and even multiple operators

@eleanorgilmartin4072 5 months ago

Recognised Leicester, then you said A46 which I know well from Warwick and onwards to Newark. I also know Lincoln well but did have Skeggy in mind by then until you told us about Youngs etc. Grimsby lives up to it's name LOL. Great fun video.

@austinbeardshaw9344 5 months ago

Can't believe I guessed it right, when you pulled off the M6 I thought that's gotta be the M69 to Leicester, so what's a few hours past there and probably coastal, that left me with Grimsby or Scarborough & Grimsby seemed the most likely. Great weather for it, hope you had fun.

@ed_menno 5 months ago

ha ha i actually really enjoyed this Mark, i got it at Lincoln hill and even then i thought you were heading to Cleethorpes. I initially thought you might be off to Yarmouth or Lowestoft after Leicester. It reminds me of the mystery destination train tours in the 80s, i think we did Plymouth, Hastings and Portsmouth all from Stafford. Good times. I hope you had fun with your mates!
