[Megabus: M9 Glasgow to Aberdeen] Plaxton Panorama Bodied Volvo B11RLET Stagecoach (50409/YX69LCE) 

This brings me back. I used to drive this service back in 2009. I was based out of Aberdeen. Good to see the old route again.

I love megabus so much. Fr. NY to Boston and fr. Boston to NY Clean bus and good and respectful drivers. That is my own experience! Thank you Mega Drive safely. God bless Y'all!

As a retired tour coach driver.....I am enjoying the drive.......great Wn NZ

Scotland is like a very advanced magical country.

wow this is the longest bus video i've ever seen thank you

What an excellent video! Thank you for the effort you have put into it. I first got to know of the bus service between Glasgow and Aberdeen as a boy growing up in Glasgow in the immediate post-war years. I never thought then that the day would come when a bus would leave Glasgow for Aberdeen, and after clearing a handful of traffic lights in the city centre wouldn't stop again until Perth! I remember always being keen on buses, and I was especially in awe of the services from Glasgow to the north (Aberdeen and Inverness) that were in the 1950's seen as superior top-drawer bus travel. You had to book ahead, and the journey took most of the day. I remember in the case of the Inverness service there was an extended lunch stop at Dunkeld, and also a morning and afternoon tea stop, at Blackford or Auchterarder, and at Kingussie. The Aberdeen service parted company with the Inverness service 17 at Perth, and since the journey was shorter and the terrain much less arduous than the old A9 route to the north, the Aberdeen bus took much less time than the eight-and-a-half hours required to reach Inverness. Naturally such exclusive long-distance services commanded the cream of the fleet. It was in 1953 that the Alexander bus company, who provided the bulk of Scottish bus services, and also were a formidable builder of buses, introduced their impressive "Coronation" bus body on the Leyland Royal Tiger chassis. There is still one in existence, having been well restored, at the Scottish Vintage Bus Museum in Fife. So these were used on the Aberdeen and Inverness services. It so happened that I lived beside Cumbernauld Road along which the buses travelled on their way out of Glasgow. I often turned out to watch them pass by. On busy days there would be duplicates assigned to the Aberdeen service, although the Inverness service was seldom as busy. And so it was that I was able to watch this majestic procession of Royal Tigers go by, each one gliding along as if by magic, for of course there was no engine visible: the recently introduced underfloor engine thus allowing the front of the bus to be completely flat and smooth, and the addition of a deep front visor gave the "Coronation" additional stylistic flair. I was also lucky enough to travel on these services, my parents returning once a year to their original home in the north to visit family. I remember the plush upholstery and sheer comfort that was so different from the workaday local service buses that I was more used to. Modern bus seat provision has lost that feel of luxury, but unfortunately seats now have to be "vandal-proof" in a way they didn't have to be in the past. These are just a few impressions that may or may not be of interest. There is a continuity between then and now, although the differences are striking. Perhaps the biggest difference is the way we regard such journeys nowadays. Today we think of them in a more matter-of-fact way. Back then however a bus trip between Glasgow and Aberdeen was a big event: people planned it well in advance, and they looked forward to it. For most of them the aim was to get to where they were going. For the bus enthusiast however the destination was only part of it, and I still have clear memories of the journeys made in my childhood out of Glasgow to Aberdeen and Inverness. Let me add that I'm very glad to have made one again, thanks to this splendid video!

Great video I felt as I was on that bus absolutely loved it

This is brilliant - I was hooked after ten minutes. Loved it. 5⭐️. 🐨🇦🇺

Loved it all through. Thank you very much!

1996-2000 I worked for Strathtay Scottish out of the Seagate bus depot. Driving for Citylink. Brought back many fond memories. Last 20 years working in Zurich driving their electric double bendy buses. Great video and thanks for the memories.

Awesome bus ride you guys dont fool around, great video!

Scotland's scenery is always beautiful. It's a really cool video 👍 It is so much fun to watch your videos. Communicate often, friend!

Thank you from JAPAN

One of the best bus journeys I’ve ever seen brilliant ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Fantastic video. Please have more such videos coming. Greetings from Karthik, India

i was a testing technician on the interchanges and bridges at Perth including the Friarton viaduct - long time ago now!! great view from this bus!!! 😊😊😊

There are live streams from long distance trucks in America, including routes in super-scenic areas such as the Rocky Mountains.

@2:46:52 Watch a collision take place between a white car and truck on the right hand side lane!😮 🚗💥🚚💨

Damn! What the hell is that noise beginning around 3:30?!?

Awesome luck bus 👌🤩🤩🤩

Very nice 👌

nice a Scottish made bus! @alexander dennis, great vid btw

Nice, I'll be heading south east of London next week from Glasgow, long journey but I've had longer.. First time with mega bus tho, should be interesting to see the differences between them & national express. Hopefully all goes well 🙏

Gostei da viagem

SUPER ❤☀️🎉

Like it

estou no brasil, obrigado pela super agradabilissima corona.

Still haven't seen a video of West Coast Motors run from Glasgow to Campbelltown.

There's a crash between a lorry and car at the cones, at 2hrs and 46mins 53second, it's the white cars fault, stuck his nose out too far.

I always wanted to see my heritage place. Good trips. Next is Moscow to novogorade.( Nino).

I remember take this bus to get to Manchester airport but I took the double decker and I all I see now are normal ones ones without any top bit

It would normally be a beautiful drive, I imagine. But I couldn't take my eyes off of all the trash and garbage along the roadside. Miles and miles of it. What's up with that?

It rained in Scotland?!? Well, whatever next?

Thanks for the good video. Might I suggest look at tempering down that wind noise, it made it unwatchable for me.

been hungover on this route many a time

mega driver o👍n mega bus

Many many years ago when there was a rail strike, I did London to Coventry on a normal Double Decker top speed was about 50 mph.

certainly looks a lot cleaner than the train, scotrail trains are shocking.

Wow

Weird camera lens and angle made it very confusing. The camera was pointing to the right. Only noticed it when behind the coach while travelling through Dundee.

I wonder whether the lower deck is taller than tx27 Astromega since the interdeck has massive luggage lockers

2:46:53 DID A CAR JUST CRASH INTO A TRUCK!?

Great picture quality can you tell us what camera you use? thankyou

can I ask what you used to film this journey... how did you stabalise the camera so well.i would've thought with tinted windows you wouldn't get such clear footage .. I'm doing my first bus journey video and need as much tips as possible thank you... Great journey

What on earth is that noise, or are they all like that ?

Can you do more coach journeys please or though avoid national express the journey i would love to see would be the m11 glasgow-london.

Anyone else notice this supposedly Professional driver go right through a solid red light @ 2:56:40 Naughty, naughty Mr Mega Bus 🙁🙁

Dundee must be the San Francisco of Scotland walking up those hills to do shopping would kill me

whart that hobble sound at the beginngine

Why are the roads in such average condition and rubbish everywhere? It looks so damn depressing. Still, thank you for taking the time and effort to make this, you did a top job!

A90 Aberdeen to Glasgow v Stirling used to drive that route in my truck pretty down beside Perth I heard they was doing these buses with beds ? I came up on the train once kings cross to Aberdeen I asked how much for a sleeper cabin £470 plus pounds easyJet Luton to Dyce Aberdeen £24 anyway good video

I'm trying think why I'm watching this, I used to drive this route so I'll just go find something else to watch. Thanks anyway.

2:46:55 No one noticed the Kia getting hit by the lorry??

Luxury buses will go if the Krankie succeeds.

I switched off google maps & switched on this video 😅😂😂

Ffs kill me now 😂😂😂🙈

Can see me delivering a coffee to the driver

3:42 why does he pull into an ahead only lane run a red light for the lane he is in then turns left not only cutting off the people in the correct lane but also potentially causing an accident with the oncoming traffic from the left

Was a lovely video until some deafening noise at 3:22. Tried to fastforward to when that stopped but wasn't until the end.

Mashin''

how much did you pay?

A few years ago I done the Manchester to Glasgow was the worse journey ever , smell on bus and bathroom was out of order and wifi never worked 🙈

Is it any wonder the Roman legionaries cried when they reached Scotland? They didnae even have the luxury of a Megabus :-o

and NewTrewetrwe Recycle Highway !

Time upgrading their gold buses as non gold starting to look more superior.

Any one watched the whole of this yet if so why?

If you don't believe in hell, take this bus trip.

Literally no editing, even at a two minute stop light.

how do we private message on youtube?

VERY NEAR FEEL HONGKONG SHAT|N ROAD&TOLO H|GHWAY N|cE

crash at 2:46:52

In Scotland bus travel is free for the over 60’s, this mega bus journey would cost £1 for any over 60 person.

A92 go to aberdeen

not an exciting journey. no one waiting for me. visibility lovely.

Coaches are so slow 😂

GB unnecessarily complicating the w h o l e business of highway signage, you'd suppose their weather customarily be extreme around there..for months at a time..eh.....

Did the driver know there was a camera recording as he jumped a red light at 2.56.46? Not the smartest piece of driving.

Always seems to be toilet problems

Sorry lost the will to live

Almost 3 hours for a 150 mile (or thereabouts) journey?? I can get from Manchester Airport to Palma De Mallorca Airport (Majorca, Balearic Islands) in 2 hours and 15 minutes and that is over 1000 miles What a waste of a 3 hour coach journey lol

Is anybody else having awful picture quality with this guy's videos?

ac destroyed this not good

What a fckin noise 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
