I got from Bristol to Cork with my girlfriend a couple of months ago for
�1.80, because nationalexpress.com sold me two tickets for 90p each, what a
result! They changed it a couple of months later when they must have noticed
it in their logs. It'll be an interesting case to watch if they really
decide not to honour the sales, I can't see how they could win.
