London Victoria Rail and Coach Stations Link
 

Curious to know if there is currently a minibus shuttle between
Victoria Rail and Coach Stations. I think there has been on occasion in
the past. The distance between the two is far enough to be a pain for
less able travellers but perhaps not far enough to justify a shuttle
bus?

There's no shuttle that I know of, although buses 11, 211, 239, C1 and
C10 run from just outside Victoria station (either the bus station or
stop R in Buckingham Palace Road) to stop V directly opposite the coach
station departures area. In the other direction, C1 operates from stop Y
just outside the arrivals area, whilst the other buses call at stop W
just outside the departures area. Unfortunately, it'd cost you for the
privilege!

If I'm going from the southeast to Victoria Coach Station, I tend to go
to Charing Cross, where the 11 is much easier to pick up. Not such an
easy option from Southern though.

I think there has been at least two attemps to run a shuttle bus
between Victoria Rail and Victoria Coach. I think they both failed due
to lack of demand. / customers not preapred to pay an economic fare.
