Away Coach Travel question

Not been on one in 25+ years, doing Pompey with my youngest son, quick question for any away coach regulars.
Is it Baylis Executive coaches, and do they have tables or is it simple rows of seats as per my previous experience.

TIA

    It'll be another 25 years after you have been to Portsmouth.

    The ones (the few) I’ve been on just have rows of seats.
    The Larkfield to Portsmouth leaves in hour 😉

    Do they have a loo on the coach (just curious), not been on an away coach since I left school (1982) always go by train.

    Certainly the longer distances ones do, can’t say I’ve noticed on Valley Express

    the valley express ones from Hastings and Bexhill always have a loo. but standing up and risk pissing on your shoes versus the unnatural sitting down is a conundrum you will have to face...

    Southeastern's common announcement is that this train does not convey a lavatory.

    Usually OK on Hastings trains....thankfully after 7-8 pints up the west end.

    Yes crazy isn't it, you have these brand new "City Beam" 10 coach trains & not one fucking toilet.

     Southwestern Railway, Dale Stephens recommended them.

    Well last time I travelled with coach to Portsmouth the windows got smashed in.
    Did mean we could piss out the window though Les Turner wasn’t happy.
    He had a point.😂

    Long time ago now, the last time I went there by coach (aggro coach) our windows got smashed. It made getting out after the Pompey fans easier lol

    Speaking of away coaches, how the heck has this happened..?



    I'd remind you Jack Whilshere used to play, occasionally anyway, for Bournemouth!

    If anyone on the coach knew the M3 doesn't go to Brighton it should have been him.

    I always thought using Uber was not so reliable.
    Joking aside, somebody will be in serious trouble for this.
