Megabus

[Tony]

There have also been a few "interesting" choices of vehicles used on cross country services over recent years, including Enviro400s, Tridents and Darts!

Buses could appear alot on Megabus in the early years, but I haven't seen any for about 3 years or so.

Has anyone else seen a standard Stagecoach bus on Megabus in the past year?

Not on Megabus, but Oxford 15965 was on the Oxford Tube last Saturday

Stagecoach Oxford run a service from Carterton and Witney on a Saturday to London which seems to use Gold deckers, I wonder if this was on the SW1 service rather than the Tube?

Could have been, was just after 11am at Hyde Park Corner when I photographed it

Not sure if this would count... https://www.flickr.com/photos/kiewii/14640750433

Sometimes you get Citylink coaches on Megabus, X25 coaches on Citylink and Megabus coaches on Citylink

The Citylink coaches on Megabus services are scheduled

I remember when they first started, and sometimes would see a Routemaster parked up at Snow Hill Queensway

Perhaps bringing a driver from Rugby?

Just wondering if anyone knows how good Megabus are for arriving on time? Looking at a trip back to Brum from Cambridge the website reckons 2h20mins, arriving 2hrs before I have to be in uni for a lecture (an important one), plenty of time to walk over to Millennium Point if it arrives on time. I'm assuming this would be doable?

@N94 They do have delays Occasionally

The 1940 off Manchester which I am booked on today now won't be leaving til 2030 due to driver running out of hours

The 1005 off Birmingham to Manchester was late due to traffic. Departed Birmingham 1115.

The M37 Cambridge do start from Birmingham though so you may have a excellent chance of it leaving to time...

@Matt I think the most riskiest trip on megabus I've got is Southampton in a couple of weeks...

1.5 hours in Southampton. Not much scope for thinking about delays!

Well that was fun.

Some idiot decided to shut the M6 at Junction 10 so we had to do 75% of the Walsall ring road, head down the A34 to Junction 7 then come off for Birmingham at the Distressway.

Oh and we arrived in city 75 minutes down!
