A Look Around A Megabus Gold Sleeper - Carlisle Open Day May 2017 

Finding this video by chance, it brought back memories for me having travelled on these services on three occasions, always on the overnight service from London to Glasgow. Given that my previous experience of Overnight services between the above named cities, on either SBG in the 70's and 80's, latterly Scottish Citylink, or by NatEx, but always seated, the first time on this service was novel and it took a bit of getting used to, especially as I was lying down throughout on my bunk. I did achieve some sleep on the first trip but subsequent trips were perfectly ok and I slept throughout. The vehicles were quiet, warm and comfortable, with privacy curtains at each sleeping point and I awoke at my destination having slept well. I learnt from the drivers that during the daytime, these vehicles didn't park up all day, but were taken over by other drivers, after being converted back into normal seated layout and would be used on Express services between London and Bristol or South Wales cities. A changeover from fully seated to Sleeper configuration could take up to an hour, though some drivers managed to get it done in 45 minutes! It's a pity these services ceased, as they were popular and when I travelled on them, were always fully booked.

That driver is my hero!

Wow, I never knew this service existed. Comfort for those very long journeys throughout the U.K. thank you for sharing friends!!!!!

RIP MEGABUS GOLD I USE TO USE THIS SURVICE ALL THE TIE FROM LONDON TO CARDIFF

I can't believe it was that long ago! It was a great day! 😊

these look ideal for long journeys

Nice

I believe Brian Souter got the idea from the Bristol Lodekka 'Deckerhomes' (that both he and I admired) of Top Deck in the 70's and 80's.' Although compared to what those baby's did - month long European Tours and their epic twelve weeker London to Kathmandu. . . . . the Megabus Gold service was nothing but a little hop! Nice try though.

very nice video

Aren't there more seats than there are beds? on the double side there are four seats in two facing pairs and then they convert into two beds and a hammock. Kudos to megabus for giving it a go though, shame it has been withdrawn.

Megabus gold has terminated service, according to ukmegabus.com. Too bad, it looked doable.

Good bus from Moscow to the Far East city Vladivostok )) about 5 to 10 days journey

wish they still kept this round

I would love to see that it is something of a change

So if you booked one of these, would you have to turn you seat into a Bed?

These are the type of coaches in which Gordon's of Rotherham would love to have because of their football teams.

that is 2014 van hool tdx29！Now vanhool only sales tdx27 in 2017

I wish the Irish could do something Like that

I wouldn't have fancied sleeping side by side with a stranger. Very awkward if you needed the loo.

These r for long distance, so why give the driver a very poor uncomfortable seat? Looks like a domestic seat, u took out coach seat for a domestic seat can I ask why? Do u not care about your drivers becssue that's what it looks like to me, typical stagecoach dont give 2 shiites about there drivers

This started off so well with buisness class style potential but then you added hammocks above ?
