Make the arrival part of the itinerary
Pin the stop, accommodation and a nearby transit interchange before leaving. Estimate walking distance with your luggage, not just straight-line distance. If the city has multiple stations or stops, use the exact address printed in your current journey information. For accessibility needs, check both the coach operator’s arrangements and the local connection; a step-free route on one part does not guarantee the entire journey is accessible.
