The Guardian report on Stagecoach's foray into new and unloved markets:
From 5 September Megabus will offer passengers their own berths on an overnight service between London and Glasgow. Each of the berths, which are laid out in sets of three with just a curtain for privacy...
...Although Megabus operates at the no-frills end of the travel market, passengers on the sleepers will receive a free overnight pack containing a toothbrush, toothpaste and an eye mask...
...Coaches will run seven nights a week in both directions, leaving Glasgow at 23:15 and arriving in London at 07:20, and departing from London at 23.59 and arriving in Glasgow at 8:05...
...It may lack some of the romance of catching the train, but tickets for the service start at £1, plus booking fee...
"Skooz me Sir, saury to borthur yu, Arm trahin ti git a pund torgethar for the Megabus Express"

Stagecoach need an acroynm: WIMPEY (construction) used to be:
We Import More Paddies Every Year.
I wonder what this will be?
It surely deserves one...
I once travelled by overnight bus from London to Carlisle. The problem was that the Glaswegians aboard were all too bloody nice: chatty, friendly and amusing. A chap may want just to sleep.
They're all right, sober. Scum of the earth, drunk. Both sorts.
