It saved us from the trouble. York was fascinating. Upon arrival on St. Pancras Station, look for escalator leading to East Midlands Trains gate. At the top of escalator you will see the ticket gate like this: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/843/dscn1196f.jpg/ . If you take a close look on the bottom left picture, you see a 1.5 meter height board. On the other side of the board you will see the Megabus logo. You can't see it from the escalator side, so that's why you'd find it difficult to find the "Megabus" counter. Anyway, the Megabus sign can be seen in this picture: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/826/dscn1197u.jpg/. Enjoy York! It's a great destination for both me and my girl. We spent a night in Ace Hostel, which you have to pay 15 pounds per person for a room which looks like a 4 star hotel. Kind regards Thank you globenomads for bringing this up.

So glad I've read these comments, I'm due to go to Nelson in Lancs with MegaBUS tomorrow and like many others have been trying to find the Bus stop on the website for days. Do I take it from these posts that there is no "bus stop" and that I catch a train for the first part of the journey? Is the platform up the second level at St.P international where the Champagne bar is? What confusion, come on Mega bus, get it together and give clear indication where to board, the prices are great, the ticketing easy but getting info. about where to get the train/bus is horrendous. Thanks to all who have posted. Wow!

You just saved me from a sure frenzy at St Pancras tomorrow. I was wondering where a bus could depart from at SPI and my reservation says nothing about a train so I am pretty sure I would have been in for the same ordeal you guys were subjected to...

You will need that to get your train ticket from the Megabus staff. Be sure to keep the number with you since you will probably need that to catch the bus at East Midlands Parkway, which of course I never did have the chance. Hope that helps. Hi Emily,
