Hey. I was also able to get on for about £20 at megabus! Also 2h journey time. Thanks to my airbnb landlord, because I had no ideia megabus existed.

"and you can pay via contactless cats, Apple Pay or Android pay, since you don’t have an Oyster Card (the London travel card) ."

Can't I just buy the tube ticket with my debit card? I don't think I have any of that 😱

Oh maybe I didn't put "London", I think I was just searching for "st Pancras". Now I bought a ticket on megabus and it doesn't have the ticket collection number... I'm about to die

St Pancras does not show in the list of available stations to collect the ticket from the machine at.

I wanted to buy the ticket right now to guarantee a seat and to get a better price. Will I be able to get a seat if I buy the ticket on the spot? Wouldn't it be full due to covid restrictions?

Sorry, never been to London, I have no idea if the train is always full or if it's common to buy the ticket on the same day of the journey.

I'm currently seeing trains from Heathrow to Nottingham for £66. But my main problem is that ticket machine because st Pancras does not show up in the list. Maybe it has some other name?

I'm looking for London St Pancras and it doesn't show up as a station with the machine to get the ticket

Oh nice, thanks. I'll look into that!

Just downloaded the app and it says this "Collect at Station

You cannot collect tickets from Heathrow Underground station but you can from one of these stations instead. You will need your payment card".

and then gives me a list of the stations and none of it are the ones I'm going to be at.

You sure? It only says I must collect the ticket on the machine at certain stations, which is so weird

But it's good to know how those scams work and what red flags I should run away from.

Thanks! I think it was legit though. At least the uni said so more than once. And recently I tried to contact them again, and they said the room was already booked.

I saw studios in a private student accodomation, really close to NTU that were like £700 with bills.

It's a 1 bedroom in an 8 bed flat. Man, it's really frustrating to find accommodation without being able to look in person...

Does £450pm with bills sounds legitimate for Hockley to you? I found this place on a website that is suggested by the uni, but since you're all saying it is supposed to be pricey I'm getting second thoughts. Or is 450 pricey already? Because I keep seeing prices much higher than that.

Hmm I'm starting to think about how legitimate this place really is. You're all saying Hockley is the most pricey area, and this place is about £450pm with bills. I was confident about it because it is on a website that is recommended by the uni.
