Hello good morning, my name is Alexandre, and I'm from the city of São Paulo, SP Brazil, and I loved the trip, I watched it all for more than 9 hours, and I got to know the border of Scotland and England at 07:45:10 hahahaha, and congratulations on the work, and I've already subscribed to the channel, and always success for you with your channel, and happy new year to you and your family, and may GOD bless you, and have an excellent 2025, and may it be a year with many glories and achievements in 2025 for you, and I'm already a fan of this channel, and much peace and best regards from the city of São Paulo, SP Brazil. =)
In the 1960s the London Glasgow bus route was all the way up the A1 to Scotch Corner then A66 to Penrith and then A6 and A74 to Glasgow. Took 12 hours overnight, 8pm to 8am. Coaches were Western SMT, very smart white and black, reading lights, reclining seats, on board toilet, and you could SMOKE!
I have noticed that there seems to be a few of these unusual junctions popping up at various places around the country. Like Jct 19 of M6 Northbound. Where, previously it had been a very normal but large conventional roundabout and what they have done is to basically drive the road right through the centre of the roundabout - which when you are not really used to seeing them looks very weird, but when you think about it 80-90% of the traffic when it came to the top of that slip road would have then gone round the road to the right. Of course, there's still a filter lane for anyone else who perhaps needs to take the road to the left. But it helps the flow of the traffic heading towards in this case Manchester International Airport. Obviously there will be a lot of cases where this sort of idea is just not feasible or really necessary but in situations such as this is does actually help - so well done to the person who thought up this.
Great nine hours and twenty two minutes drive. Really enjoyed this trip. Look forward to more such similar kind of videos in the near future. Thanks for sharing 😉😉😉
I have fond memories of taking the Anglo Scottish Scottish Citylink swrvices in the 80s and 90s from London to Glasgow. A wonderful journey which was about 8 hours even with a stop at Charnock Richard.
Preston is obviously one of the UK'S newest cities, but it's also a very good example that a city doesn't really have to be the size of Manchester, Glasgow or Birmingham there are some smaller cities well worth visiting.
I used to work for these lot but working for Stagecoach direct. The M11 I believe is run by a company called Mcleans coaches who have a Megabus contract. I used to do the M20 which also went to Glasgow but via M1, A1 route. The M11 goes via the M6 route. The M20 left at 09:30 and I'd do the driver change over at Sheffield. Its a shame because these coaches especially the interdecks are fantastic but unfortunately drivers cant treat them right and engineers dont maintain properly. Sadly half of Megabus is shutting up shop.
oh you uploaded this hell of a journey, went on it last year I think from Glasgow to shudehill bc i didn’t trust the trains, never again, i got the front top seat you were in on the right hand side, the A/C was broke and the coach was 25°C 💀
I find it very pleasurable to watch this - relaxing, even. The countryside is beautiful and the various shades of green quite deeper and brighter than I'm used to (Australia, on the east coast.) One thing seems odd and that is not seeing any B-Double semi-trailers. They are so common here on the highways and seeing just conventional semis in this video is quite different. Are they not permitted in the UK/Europe?
Didn't see the price of the trip....I am thining of trying the Edinburgh to London at some point (hopefully)...But this still entails getting to Edinburgh first.
I took this trip during the Easter sale this April, so the ticket only cost £2 + seat reservation & booking fee. The cheapest standard price is usually around £13-20 for a London - Scotland trip.
one thing I'll never understand about the UK, never did in ETS2 either. What's up with the traffic lights in roundabouts? That's the whole point of roundabouts, you don't need lights. 1:05:00 was there some car meet nearby? All those Miatas, a TVR and more
Traffic lights on roundabouts has a few reasons. Firstly, in some areas, without traffic lights, some cars would just never get onto the roundabout so traffic lights give a chance for cars on more minor roads to get onto the roundabout. Combined with that is that sometimes this only happens at very busy peak times but the UK is backwards and many councils point blank refuse to have part time traffic lights. You go through most towns and cities at night and you don't need traffic lights but they still shine bright, needlessly holding people up when they aren't needed. In short, lack of political will to only have traffic lights at times when there is actually a need for them. Secondly, Sometimes it is done for pedestrian crossings. In some cases a single crossing on one arm of the roundabout means the whole thing needs traffic lights else it risks huge queues and essentially blocking the roundabout.
Its a pity that Stagecoach Megabus are still using the 69-reg on this route - not that there's anything particularly wrong with them. It's just that Megabus and Scottish Citylink have begun using the new Volvo 9700 DD on some of their other routes (brand new 24-reg). It would have been nice to have experienced that on a journey such as this. However that's just the way the cookie crumbles, nobody's fault really.😉 If you think that you would like to take a trip on one of the new Volvos i believe that they are serving the Glasgow to Inverness route.
This one was filmed in early April this year, literally a few days before the brand new Volvo 9700DDs introduced on M11, M20... I have already done M20 to Glasgow with the brand new one last month. The video should be available within this year, along with other coach journey recordings!
Seems like jorney at dray. Horrible sound. I wouldn't take this jorney in real. After 7 minutes even before leaving London switching off. Unbelieveble. I had many trips by bus but every of it was as you drive on feather bed, smooth and quiet.

Extraordinary detail in the vids, road numbers and names made it easy to follow on a map

Nice journey london to Glasgow good job
Great video would love to see it done from Glasgow to London
Waow! I am so blown away by the roads, so perfect. Thank for The raid
Believe me they aren't perfect.
5:24:10 love the kid slipping chasing his ball
Very impressive 5.28.49
Love the *Drive on the Left* signs at Abington, many hours from any port...
David, Scottish routes are notorious for fatals involving foreign tourists on the wrong side.
oh you uploaded this hell of a journey, went on it last year I think from Glasgow to shudehill bc i didn’t trust the trains, never again, i got the front top seat you were in on the right hand side, the A/C was broke and the coach was 25°C 💀
The back of a coach when it's hot with no air con is absolutely Diabolical. Spent 5 hours trapped at the back of an old coach when the M6 was shut
9 HOURS OF FULL ROUTE!!!!

What editing software and device do you use
Amazing the lack of indicators being used to change lanes in the UK these days on Motorways.
did it stop at service between london to manchester
No, it didn't
Good ❤ اللهم صل على محمد وال محمد ❤
This would have been my favourite travel video BUT the efin rattling near the camera from start to finish just ruined it.
Awesome vid how come you stopped at the retail park in Carlisle? Boot someone off?
Dropping a staff off from what I saw

MOST ILEGAL DRIVING EVER
Magnificent! Thank you.
Just one question: is that speed limit shown as "20" in mph or kph?
Mph
@@jackgymlad819 Thank you. I thought it must've been but the speed indicator in the top RH corner shows kph.
At 5:24:14 what are the kids doing at the corner? 😮
Are buses/coaches limited to 100 kph maximum speed (60 mph)? Plenty of vehicles faster than the coach. What is the speed limit on the motorways?
The national speed limit is 70mph as default. Coaches are usually limited to 62mph/100kph
@@xd_transportation731 Again, many thanks. I'm an Aussie so am unfamiliar with your speed restrictions.
How much evidence of bad/illegal driving do we need?
Like this comment if u watched the full 9 hours
I hope no one would spend 9 hours just to watch this video 😂
Like this comment if you're just whoring for likes.
Why to meet zombie place 🤯👿
Is there a reason for middle lane hogging out of London?
Bad drivers! Plenty of them around. 🙂
I'd rather take train
Coaches are NOT allowed in lane 3 of the motorway. He goes into it numerous times & to save, what? 10 seconds, if that? Bad bit of driving there.
Seems like jorney at dray. Horrible sound. I wouldn't take this jorney in real. After 7 minutes even before leaving London switching off.
