    The X7 is probably the longest single stretch in the journey south to north of England or vice versa (which I've also done). It's thanks to this route that the journey can be completed in two days and not three. However three days is nicer, gives you chance for proper lunch breaks instead of rubbish snacking (and no cheaper in the end), for toileting, and stretching your legs. However, you can include across into Scotland on your third day.

    Someone complained about an hour-and-a-half in just one bus!!! When you're going across Britain (as in this guy's video) you're looking at 13 hours a day, and virtually the same the following day.! You must get fit before you can attempt these things, even though you're sitting for most of the day.

    Great challenge! If you haven't already I would suggest you do this challenge going towards Cornwall instead. I think it would be more challenging than going north due to the lack of high density bus networks and demand in the south west of England but also just as rewarding with the beautiful scenery.

Bus was really clean when I took it too! * What was the reason you stopped where you did? What mic do you use to capture your voice on the bus? It is really nice and clear with not much background noise. Also what camera do you use? Look forward to more journeys soon! Doing one through London on Friday which I hope to film and upload soon!

    An entertaining video. The bus up the Yorkshire coast from Scarborough to Whitby is a superb ride is highly recommended. Whitby bus station (adjacent to the railway station) is fairly well served by the local buses. If you have a bit of spare time the pub in the station does a nice beer! Next year, perhaps you should try a route to (say) King's Lynn and up the East Coast from there (it could be the £3 bus challenge). Also the London - Doncaster fare can be considerably below the (non-railcard) walk up cost. With advance booking a bit over £20 is achievable.

    Well, I did London - Carlisle in two days, and London - Newcastle (I think) in two days, I can't remember for sure whether the latter was two or three because I liked to look around at changing points. However, the all important info you may want to know is - you must overnight in Newcastle before heading up England's final county. With a prompt morning start, you should have time for a bite at Berwick from where you can get a cheap Borders Bus day pass. The route via Selkirk up to Edinburgh is far, far, more interesting than the direct bus (which is totally boring). And your pass will cover any quick changes. Your Borders pass will take you right to Princes Street, but if you want to explore the Edinburgh area itself, you'll need a Lothian pass (which compared to London is ridiculously cheap) Further north still requires another text, so that's enough for today.

    Years ago, there were quite a few limited stop bus services using our motorways, many using DP single deckers but double deckers featured on a few, both regularly and occasionally. The 90s would largely see their decline, mainly due to increasing traffic congestion.

      I would definitely love to try the 840/843 route sometime. The connection in Whitby would be very short and due to the Coastliner's long route length it is frequently late. It was a difficult decision but the route straight through the middle of North Yorkshire was more reliable even if it took slightly longer. I worked out I could get as far as Newcastle that day, but would be at a risk of missing the last train. I hope to do another trip in the coming months exploring more of the north east by bus!
