I love these kinds of riding videos. Not only do we get to see the country side but we get to ride on different buses . From the comforts of home insted of expensive travel to get there.
@Matt Taylor lol im referring to going thru travel agents to get to other countries and the pia it is at least here in the state of georgia to get a passport.
@@judydavenport9636 sorry I'm late but in response to the passport being kind of hard to get, why is that? I heard in US for some reasons passport's always seem like some issue trying to get or renew one, can u explain to me what's up? I'm interested to find out these details
@@iai2354 The flight to get to another country. I for one don't even have a passport and yes i heard they can be hard to get. Air fares are expensive. Then they are the hotel room rates. I donlt know what its like in other countries, but the hotels near me are priced according to thte time of yr. For example, summer is more expensive to stay in one.
I drive for Stagecoach and was a Megabus Driver when it operated out of Chesterfield Depot about 15-17 years ago , I'm the proud owner of an " A Team " Badge for being one of the top Megabus drivers in the Country and only 20 Badges were ever awarded :)
Any idea why it doesn't call at Lancaster bus station, I was looking forward to seeing how much the town has changed from when living there in my teen years. my disappointment is immense ;)
Great bus ride through South Scotland/North England. Enjoyed every km of it, great to travel at least virtually during these times, thanks for sharing such videos!
So I have now seen this. Thank you for uploading. With a little music running in the background I could imaging I was doing this trip myself. True facts: I have never been to the UK. This seemed to be a very nice drive though...even if it's a very long one. But there were lots of green and hills and everything. A nice landscape. It's also very refreshing seeing the things like they are. I do not know about the internet regulations in your country but if anyone else in Europe had done this trip they probably had been blurring out every license plate and most likely every single word on every car/truck in sight too.
@@neildavidson7809 I paid £9 for a bottle of Buckfast south of the border in Manchester, really bad hangover. No wonder the people who drink it don't work.
Great journey, from the UK I really like the landscape not far from Glasgow, the hills look cool with the motorway and turbines going tho it! sometimes go this way on a road trip, great video!!
Stance 23 is where the Aberdeen bound M11 used to depart from. I drove the M11 from Aberdeen to Perth. I loved the smoothness of the Astromega. Beautiful auto gear shift. They could pick up a lot of speed going downhill. Many a time I’d watch the trailer in the rear view camera bouncing around.
I love all the UK based bus videos especially when I am feeling homesick for the UK. Thank you for all of your video uploads from the UK and HK. Best wishes from an ex-pat Brit in Maine USA.
Would be interesting to drive in UK, but the hour-price numbers are not very optimistic. Ten months in a year of working is about 45-50k annual in here. In Helsinki city transport 45-55k a year
It's the same with new trucks nowadays. Our company has trucks with bits of interior trim rattling and even falling off after only a few months of use. Modern vehicles? Technology is great. Build quality? Not so much.
We did London to Glasgow , it was terrible thanks to a man eating smelly food and then shouting into his mobile in an ugly language. He got off in the North of England, everybody sighed with relief. Coming back was a dream, the sleeper bus is amazing, we slept all the way.
what an incredible ride over 400 miles in 5 hours really cool pity the driver didn't stop at any motorway services along the but a great ride thank you very much
It were ever thus. My Dad used to have a haulage company in the 1960's, he needed a new truck but the British companies said he'd need to wait a couple of months. He needed one straight away but a company he'd never of called "Volvo" said they could get him a truck straight away. Even 30years later he said the comfort of the Volvo was astonishing compared to the Brit trucks he was used to
I don't honestly know if they have Cruise control on these buses/coaches but I do know that the Volvo are quite popular with most of the drivers, cause of their well built, powerful engines and they are always improving their vehicles. Not many make buses/coaches and lorries like the Swedish giant does.
Definitely have cruise control, very smooth auto boxes as well. I'm old enough to remember travelling on buses and coaches with manual gearboxes. Absolutely enormous stalks of bare metal those were, the crunching noise was also something else. Even the local buses around town had huge gearsticks like that.
Many happy memories travelling from Manchester to Perth via Glasgow Buchanan Street a few years back. most times it was just a single decker Megabus back then..think it took around 6hrs..
A coach is a single deck vehicle (such as a Van Hool or Plaxton). Double deck vehicles, whether city bound, interurban or inter-city are always known a buses, although single deck buses exist in city settings.
I've ridden the US version of Megabus a few times...Great Lakes region (Chicago, IL-Milwaukee, WI-Minneapolis, MN and back). One of the few instances in the US one can actually see double-decker coaches.
I remember visiting Renton cemetery on September 18th 1980 to visit Jimi’s graveside,met his dad Al. Next day I jumped on the Greyhound bus from Seattle to L.A. It was at least 30 hours and my arse was red raw when I got off it. Weather was very similar to Glasgow but my God,when I got to L.A.i was getting funny looks as it was scorching hot and I was wearing my Afghan coat.
I started watching this video but didn't realize its 5 hours long. I've taken the bus several times from Washington DC to New York and back, and I've used both Greyhound and Megabus. I would have to say Megabus is my favorite because it's more comfortable. Greyhound isn't bad, but Megabus is just a little better. Greyhound does have the advantage of having a bus station in New York where riders can sit and wait indoors for the bus. Megabus meets peoples people on the street, so if you show up early you have to wait outside, but being outside isn't bad in my opinion.
Have done this journey a couple of times, really wish it called into Tebay or somewhere to pick up supplies and a leg stretch as it's very long indeed!
If you want to pick up supplies at Tebay mate, ensure you secure a bank loan first. It is ridiculously expensive. Even by service station standards. Also, it's not even that great despite its reputation. I paid the best part of a fiver for a "meat" pie. I have yet to discover any meat.
Great video but will you film like the seat space , the size of the personnel table and loo space and were if any plugs or usb's are ? that will be great thanks .
USB's are on the back of the seats. You can clearly see them at the beginning of the video, where the yellow circles are at on the back of the seats there's a USB plug in the middle. According to Megabus' website, buses are equipped with free wifi and free USB charging points. USB and wifi are not uncommon in this day and age.
I prefer this video then than the from Manchester to Glasgow in tithing one it’s daylight the whole journey Also it got through my hometown of Salford on the left side when the bus goes past Summerville School and Bolton Road Playing Field I live at the bottom of the fields Duchy Road
The bus made by volvo is beautiful, however the sitting space is too small for passengers, 4 seats per row may be too crowded. By the way, i particularly love the route of Megabus from Edinburgh to Inverness, along this trip is beautiful scene.
i was really confused when this came up on my feed... a 5 hour video of bus journey, and it's got 262K views? what the hell. but now. having watched bits of it and read the comments...i hate to find myself saying this, but, i kinda get it.
This video says Glasgow to London but the video stops at Manchester Airport. Where can I watch the rest of the journey from Manchester Airport to London?
I'm so used to driving 65-75 MPH on major highways like this here in the US that it seems almost that you've slowed the video down. I have to watch at 1.5x speed to make it seem normal for me. I just discovered your channel today, looking forward to seeing more of Britain from the roads and rails.
Going through the countryside is really nice. That part of that motorway looks like Montana. I've been to the UK. The only parts I've been to is London and Southhampton. I've never been to Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. I just went to England. The roads in Manchester and other cities are pretty bad. I bet riding that double decker bus is a total nightmare. Going over those bad roads is torture. I've been to Belgium (the Flemish community), Norway, Germany and France. The roads are a lot better. I rode buses in some of those countries without the rattling over bumps. That's just me. Didn't see all the roads. Anyway, this is a nice long video. I enjoyed it. Cheers.
I will be watching this down to Lancaster University Underpass. As I have already watched from London to Lancaster University Underpass, so this will complete the full rota.
During the covid period I have done a fair amount of train travel, and it has been pleasant because the trains are not full and you don't have anyone next to you. Really wish this would continue. Single seating one side, doubles the other (2+1 instead of 2+2) would lower capacity but be much more comfortable for passengers. In the 1970s a UK bus company called Southdown used to have coaches with 2+1 seating. Progress?
I grew up in Scotland and now live in England. Barely saw any Eddie Stobart in Scotland and seeing them everywhere was a clear sign you were in England on holiday.

For saying how much these double deck coaches cost and bearing in mind it's only a year old, it does some rattling over bumps

only nr lancaster no way can it get to london in 5hr24mins unless it can fly lol
Its a direct run, thats why its so cheap. Pay more and you get rest stops with national express i think.
Good driver constant cruise control, reading the road.
I never knew "Megabus" existed out of the USA. Great video.
When I say that most bus drivers really like the Volvos it's because they make them so easy to drive.

Why only do part route to Manchester when the bus goes to London. The title says Glasgow to London.( NOT Glasgow to Manchester)
Yes holding camera any longer on tripod and very strongly as I do, be extremely uncomfortable might be one reason
This is the better half of the route if it's cool scenery you are after.
London to Manchester is on the London to Glasgow video. You just have to watch it backwards.

During the covid period I have done a fair amount of train travel, and it has been pleasant because the trains are not full and you don't have anyone next to you. Really wish this would continue. Single seating one side, doubles the other (2+1 instead of 2+2) would lower capacity but be much more comfortable for passengers. In the 1970s a UK bus company called Southdown used to have coaches with 2+1 seating. Progress?
