Our friends at False Economy are hosting the coach and train travel pages for October 20.
Anyone who has booked transport to the march and wants to offer seats to others can use this facility to advertise them. Or if you’re looking for a place on a coach, keep checking it out. As more coaches are added, the map will fill up, and make it easy to locate cheap travel options to get you to London on the day.
The first coaches have now gone live with seats being offered from Newcastle, across Oxfordshire and Southend.
Do you usually have coaches from all over the country? I was expecting to see Birmingham on the list, even better, Tamworth where I’m from!
If possible, email updates as and when news of Tamworth/ Birmingham coaches is received would be fab – myself and my Mother-in-law would love to come along and lend our support (and voices) to the rally
Yours in anticipation

The event is still some months away so there are not that many coaches listed yet.
What often happens is that a union or other group will book a coach for its members. If it then finds that it has spare seats it will advertise them through the False Economy page – and using local networks – and that will be your chance to get a lift.
We can’t make any promises as we are not organising coaches centrally, but it would be surprising if there were no coaches with seats from Birmingham or even Tamworth. You could also try asking local union offices.
Any buses,trains from Sheffield please? – we are a group of about six people keen to go. Thanks
Sheffield Trades Council have booked coaches, and we are collecting names on a database, so we can book more as needed, and update people with further details. I have submitted this to False Economy today, but you can send an email with names etc.. to the email address above. Time of departure and meeting point to be decided. £10 waged £5 unwaged.
If anyone arranged transport from the Deeside, Flintshire, North Wales area and has a space, can you let me know please? Thanks

Alice, there is a march on the same day in Glasgow. STUC organised.
I understand that a coach is being organised from Barnstaple (North Devon) calling at Tiverton and Taunton en route to London.
There are a lot of coaches listed already for the South West – You’re winning by some way in the travel preparations stakes. You can see more of them at http://falseeconomy.org.uk/oct20

ANY COACHES FROM HIGH PEAK AREA PLEASE, MAY NOT BE WELL ENOUGH TO TRAVEL SO FAR BUT IF I CAN I WILL, IF NOT I WILL BE WITH YOU IN THOUGHT AND SUPPORT.
What is the venue for the Glasgow event? Also, I must ask, if this is being heavily publicised with a main focus on London and we want this to be ‘the biggest anti-austerity march ever’, why is the event being split between different cities, rather than the unions getting together and mobilising people in the centre of London, like we did before?
Hi Andrew. Here’s a bit more information about the march the STUC are organising in Glasgow: http://www.stuc.org.uk/20-oct
Any news yet on where the coach parks will be?
Not yet Paul, but they will be all over. So many coaches expected that we’re booking out most of the spaces in London that are close to good public transport links. Likely as with march last year, we’ll allocate coaches from around the country to parks that are easiest for their inbound journeys to London, so we aren’t delaying people’s journeys further in avoidable traffic. Watch this space.
Thanks John
Hi, Are there any coaches from Lowestoft, Ipswich or Norwich ?
