My sister has booked 11 places leaving from Ice Arena at 07:15. I'd never heard of them before but on looking on the internet they took several coaches to the final last year from Castleford.
Noticed they've advertised in the Hull Daily Mail this week.

Yeah it came through by email from the Rugger Express email address, She also had the option of paying by bank trasfer or online over the phone. She choose to pay over the phone at an extra cost of 75p per ticket. Not alot on the internet about them but more importantly nothing negative. |

This is the response I got when posting a reply to their advert on totalrl forums asking for anyones experience of them....
Charterplan coaches bought Rugger Express which is a well known name in the rugby travel industry. We took hundreds of hull fc fans to Wembley and both hull kr & fc fans travelled to the magic weekend in Cardiff and Manchester.
Also we have taken hull kr fans to Catalans Dragons.
Hull tourist information were booking agents for Rugger Express in the past.
We also advertise in the hull daily mail.
Just found this as well. Hope these aren't the coaches they use lol. It does seem like the company have been around a long time though and the landline number, that currently is a fax number for a travel company (that sounded alarm bells for me!) is on the brochures from years ago, before they changed the formsat to 0161 from 061.

Ha Ha Xyster, Those pictures are for a make of coaches that where called Charterplan. Not affiliation to this company.
Rugger Express are genuine, or atleast they where. At the bottom of the Charterplan website they still have the old Rugger Express phone number, 0844 856 7811. The more I look the more I feel it is a genuine travel company. As Charterplans existing number 0333 444 0226 googled comes up with Soccerexpress which have ran a few football trips, Notably some Man City finals.

You say that (no affiliation) but the phone number on the brochures is the same as the 0161 number I found for the company. I rang it and got a fax line and when I googled it it is listed as the fax number for HoliidayGems.co.uk so alarm bells rang for me. I saw it on those Flickr photos though at the bottom of the page. When you look at the brochures closely the address is the same as well. Deffo the Charterplan still in operation today.
I saw the link to soccer express/rugger express. They say they bought out rugger express.

If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.

Book this and you'll end up Rohypnolled and married to an ISIS commander in the Syrian desert within fourty eight hours, minus a kidney and mourning the end of your rusty sheriff's badge.

I've used Rugger Express lots of times of the years for Leeds' finals. They are spot on. Organised and never had a problem.
HOWEVER...in 2005 when we played your FC mates in Cardiff, .Rugger express chose to stop at the services all the 50 Hull FC club coaches were stopping at. There must have been literally 10000 FC fans with one coach of Rhinos. walking through the car park was a struggle it was that packed with FC...fair to say they gave us a lot of stick and a few mindless idiots gave abuse.
