Reserved Seating

After filling out your trip details and selecting your route - you'll be able to choose your reserved seats. You can select one of the 18 most popular seats on our coaches to get a great view - or ensure that you sit next to family and friends.

The cost of your trip may vary depending on when you made the booking and when you plan to travel. Just keep in mind that prices are subject to change.

To choose your reserved seats, fill out your trip details and select your route. Click on the seat you want and then proceed to purchase your tickets. Please note that reserved seats are available on selected routes and are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.

Your ticket will show the seat number you’ve reserved. Then when you get on board, your seat number will be displayed on the headrest.

To get a reserved seat, you need to buy your ticket online at megabus.co.uk. You can swap your general seat for a reserved one online if there are any available, as long as it's more than 24 hours before you travel. You'll have to pay a fee of £3.75, which includes a £2.25 amendment fee and a £1.50 booking fee. The fee will be deducted from the cost of your new reservation. If your new reservation is cheaper than your original booking, you won't receive a refund or any leftover credit. If your new reservation costs more than your original booking, you'll need to pay the difference when making the new booking.

Sometimes a seat that seems empty could already be reserved by a passenger getting on at another stop. To avoid any confusion, it would be really helpful if you could stick to your current seat. Thanks for your understanding!

Reserved seats are currently available on selected routes. If your trip offers seat reservations, you’ll see a seating plan when you’re booking your trip which is where you can select your seat. 

We recommend booking early to avoid disappointment. Only seats shown on the website as reserved seats may be reserved. All other seats are on a first come first serve basis.
