If You Have The Time, This Is The Best Way
So leaving from Shaftesbury, you get the 7.20am Red Bus from Opposite the Town Hall. A lovely drive through beautiful country side into the City of Salisbury, gets you in around 8.30.
A short walk to the Coach Stop and then it's the 9am To London Victoria. Another lovely drive through the New Forest onto the M3. They have free wifi from an app called Vuer and plug points so you can keep your devises nicely charged. The beauty of the Coach Company is almost always the drivers are cheerful. Also on board you have a rest room at the back and the seats are nicely spread and comfortable.
On arrival in London Victoria at 12.30 there is a 2 hour wait, but hey I head for Caffe Nero on Elizabeth Street to enjoy a Mocha, with the lovely staff and more free wifi. There is also the Travelers Tavern, if you want traditional British Food and an Ale.
Just down from the cafe is a Sainsbury's Local to stock up on snacks for the journey as you get ready to catch the 14.30 and will get to Buxton Market Place at 8.30. Later coaches you get to Derby to pick up the Trans Peak Bus route to Buxton.
Benefits of the journey: You are certain to have a seat, free wifi and plug sockets and get to see some lovely countryside for £30 rather than £130 by train. Life Is Good. Prices Fluctuate booking early can make it cheaper, booking late much more expensive.
