Fantastic vlog as always and Flixbus have applied for a Psv licence to be based at the local bus operators base here & loved the sound track to the vlog as well as the little dance that you & lucy did
Just got to do NatEx now G 😜 another brilliant video from you as always and this brings back memories of the days when I used to do the overnight Megabus journeys between Glasgow and London 🙂
Thank you for making these videos, big help for us as we plan our trip. If you suffer motion sickness, Meclazine is a great solution. I’ve used it for over 20 years, no down side, making it far better than Dramamine, and it’s cheap.
A nice change of scenery G and Luce, really entertaining and informative, I'd hate to see the house of the person who we'd on the toilet paper (not), hope you had a good time in Sunderland. Both of you, stay safe. Looking forward to the next one
Loved seeing a very happy and positive review on Megabus. As and ex coachie I use National Express often and prefer it to the train. Not been on Megabus for about 10 year but didn't have any complaints about it, apart from the toilet like yourself but anti bac is definitely a must on any public transport. Glad your buddy provided info about the bus and indeed they were correct 👍 Hopefully gonna try Megabus once again sometime and try out Flixbus too but as for National I got my honest review on my page
Thanks for the video G,and Lucy, the coaches look stunning inside and in great condition. Being down south never heard of them. I'd get chucked off because I snore Loudly!! 😂😎🚍🚍🚍🚍🇬🇧💙
Great vlog G. I’ve never travelled with MegaBus but my brother has. I still don’t see myself travelling by coach as I get travel sick and I prefer the train lol. I enjoyed watching as always!
Another great travelogue. Have you been on the Yorkshire Coastliner Leeds/York Whitby bus yet? One of the most spectacularly scenic bus journeys in the UK. :)
Ive never been good at coach journeys much prefer trains or driving myself, but looked like you had a very relaxing trip if u fell asleep just a bit haha great Vblog as ever G thank you fantastic tune too I won't let you down 👍😊🎶
You and Lucy are such an adorable couple 😊 My brother used to drive for Megabus (based at Rugby), he often said he loved the job but hated the passengers. After your toilet experience I can see why
Great you enjoyed the trip. I love the extra legroom on some of the Megabus seats but I prefer National Express as the seats are comfier. I love the route up to the North East as the A19 is very picturesque. I was at Uni in Middlesbrough so a route I took many times from Manchester and still do when I visit the North East.
It's a nice little ride between Manchester and Leeds on the M62. Travelled between them many times in the car with family. Even though I'm more of a train person, it's always good to throw in a road trip now and again too!
My great-uncle used to get very travel sick until he got travel-sickness wristbands. You just put them on your wrists and press a button which presses on a pressure point or something which stops you feeling sick, all drug free. He doesn't get sick at all with the wristbands. He forgot them once and was very sick so it shows just how much they work. I'd definitely recommend them.
Nice to see the Megabus from passenger perspective 🤣 usually I’m sat in the drivers seat 🤣🤣. Great video! I usually do that service from Leeds to Newcastle! Just not the day you caught!
In the early 80s in Oklahoma - we had Greyhound and Trailways busses - aka coaches. That was east to west travel or to Dallas. Both lines did not serve some of the same towns. On Friday afternoons I took Greyhound to Tulsa and back to Oklahoma City on Sunday night for work. I slept all the way - never any crazies on the bus. Made one mistake in booking a trip to Tulsa - we diverted 50 miles away to a place called Three Corners. It wasn’t on a map. A gas station/diner for bus passenger interchange between bus lines - up to Kansas. Got me to Tulsa an hour late for work that night.
I've used Megabus a few times over the years. I would recommend in summer to do Manchester to Glasgow, although it doesn't stop at any services so plenty supplies are needed
They provide a decent service, however one time I took them out of Norwich they were almost 2 hours delayed and it wasn't communicated in any way, the departure boards showed on time and just cleared once the the scheduled time passed
I traveled twice (once really) with megabus many moons ago....First time it was a no show and I was stranded in Cardiff late evening (luckily I was able to get a hotel at short notice) and the 2nd time I was forced to use them, no trains (day later) it was fine, comfy and a reasonable journey time,,,wishing you well.
Coaches always remind me of school trips 😄 Well I guess everything is relaxing except the toilet Do you get delay repay on the megabus or is that not a thing
An entertaining vlog as always! At one point you almost filmed Stott Hall Farm in the middle of the M62. The myth is the stubborn farmer refused to sell his land so they had to build the route on either side of his house, but it was actually more practical to split the motorway at that point because of the risk of a landslip. I've done a very short video about it on my channel!😊
Yep, I'm admitting to being a Megabus fan - I've travelled from Inverness to Edinburgh on those a few times. If you get the front seat on that service, the view as you near Edinburgh and head over the Bridge is stunning. Shame you two didn't get nicer weather on this trip, though. And as for the Neanderthal who did that to the loo roll... Words fail me! Must be related to the cave-dweller who jammed a full toilet roll in the bog on one of my return trips to Inverness.
@@walterfillingham True enough! Even my local line, Inverness to Aberdeen, can be hit and miss. Nothing worse than a two-car 158 turning up jammed to the rafters...
Always remember the megabus that dropped all its sump oil at Meadowhall interchange , the driver was asking passengers for cash to buy oil , they were well and truly stranded
Rather you than me, G. I've done the Megabus 'redeye' overnight from London to Glasgow (10 hours) and I'd confidently say that I'd rather walk both ways. On snapped ankles...
I’ve long wanted to get a front seat on a long coach journey. Although with what I’ve heard about Megabus, it’s probably the only good thing about them
If you do suffer from travel sickness, take some freezer ziplock bags with you, I used to be a Sunday School teacher and would take some to hand out as soon as one child was sick it would set the others off, not nice on a hot summers day.
Bus, coach, what is the difference? Guessing a coach can also be a bus but some buses can't be a coach. Doubt a proper double decker bus isn't a coach.
Three quid extra?! You've been robbed for those seats But yeah, I'll also have time for Megabus because seats are so much comfier than NatEx and fares are so much better as well Always get me down London with no hassle or fuss
The M62 is always a pig of a motorway. I live near Boro - its such a dump - personally I'd rather be pee shamed by the light at the front of the bus letting fellow passengers know I was going than use a public loo in Boro where its basically still 1983. Sunnerlan ( correct local pronunciation ) is a nicer place

Great video G did really look like a relaxing journey
Was indeed thanks Cyber!
Nice vudeo! - congrats BTW on your pic in RailWatch magazine (re your Headbolt Lane video)
Brilliant review of Megabus & i like the views outside the front windows brilliant vlog as always
Thanks!

Thanks a lot!

Thanks E-Wan! Natex is that whats it called these days 😂
@@GLovesTrains A lot of folk call it National Express still but myself and many others just call NatEx! 😂

Coach travel is best for me
Great video! Always loved your videos 😊❤

Nice! The toilet paper didn't hinder the experience 😂
Enjoyable video as usual G! First Jen releases a video for FLIXBUS, and now G releases a video for MEGABUS, must be Coach Week 😏
Haha thanks!
Great film G. Forgot to say last time, love your 7th Dr Sylvester Mccoy umbrella. My eldest son had one of those too!
Thanks!
Brilliant video G, the megabus coaches do look nice. :)
Thanks!
Nice! Just seen this. I currently work for Stagecoach Newcastle going on Megabus on relief work.
Nice one!
Thanks for the video G,and Lucy, the coaches look stunning inside and in great condition. Being down south never heard of them. I'd get chucked off because I snore Loudly!! 😂😎🚍🚍🚍🚍🇬🇧💙
Haha! Lucy snores too 😂
@@GLovesTrains 😂

I can understand that, thanks Sam!

Not yet but I have heard about that one
Great video and I recognized that brolly you had, the 7th Doctor's, very cool, I've got one myself
Thanks!
What a great video with wonderful editing
Thanks!
Ive never been good at coach journeys much prefer trains or driving myself, but looked like you had a very relaxing trip if u fell asleep just a bit haha great Vblog as ever G thank you fantastic tune too I won't let you down 👍😊🎶
Thanks! They are quite relaxing when they wanna be
Great video
I had a pretty shoddy experience with Megabus, though it was a lease job. Nice vlog from this one G!
Such a cozy, relaxing journey! 😎
You and Lucy are such an adorable couple 😊
My brother used to drive for Megabus (based at Rugby), he often said he loved the job but hated the passengers. After your toilet experience I can see why

I've got the megabus from Glasgow to London a few times really good prices and a great journey, recommended to anyone 👍
It's a nice little ride between Manchester and Leeds on the M62. Travelled between them many times in the car with family.
Even though I'm more of a train person, it's always good to throw in a road trip now and again too!
Thanks Reece! There's still great views on the motorways I find

Thanks for the recommendation!
Looked a very enjoyable day out on the Megabus pity about the weather but still it was great to watch 👍👍✅✅
Thanks!
Nice to see the Megabus from passenger perspective 🤣 usually I’m sat in the drivers seat 🤣🤣. Great video! I usually do that service from Leeds to Newcastle!
Just not the day you caught!
Haha thats cool! 😁
i love yor vids gloves, please can you do the Cardiff to Ebbw Vale Town line and do the knickers song at Risca & Pontymister?
well done 👍 another great video keep up the great work you are doing paul in kent
Thanks Paul in Kent!

I think you and Lucy has the best seats right at the front
Can't believe somebody would wee all over the toilet paper
Haha I can believe it 😂
Awesome video, Looks like both Flexbus & Megabus are 2 of the UK's Greyhound services?
I think Flixbus actually own Greyhound these days.
Swear I saw G in Cardiff yesterday. I suppose I'll find out if I was right if videos appear with different hair.
I've used Megabus a few times over the years. I would recommend in summer to do Manchester to Glasgow, although it doesn't stop at any services so plenty supplies are needed
Thanks for the recommendation!
No windshield wiper on that upper level window?
Some US busses have those upper decks.
yeah, wipers on the upper level windows would be very nice...
Hi how was the front seats for leg space , booked the front seats for me and my son .
Any room to kind of put your feet up a bit in front of you ?
Not anything to put your feet onto but i found there was enough leg room 👍
@@GLovesTrains thank you
They provide a decent service, however one time I took them out of Norwich they were almost 2 hours delayed and it wasn't communicated in any way, the departure boards showed on time and just cleared once the the scheduled time passed
I know prices go up on weekends is this the same for this one but I like the station for mega bus up Manchester
Megabus in the UK is very different from the Canadian version. Looks like a relaxing ride.
I've always wanted to go on a Megabus
Careful, you're in the twilight zone! A bus clock that has the time correct? Impossible in real life!
Great video, G.
Haha thanks!
Looks like mega bus is a nice ride I've never used it before
Sure was!
I traveled twice (once really) with megabus many moons ago....First time it was a no show and I was stranded in Cardiff late evening (luckily I was able to get a hotel at short notice) and the 2nd time I was forced to use them, no trains (day later) it was fine, comfy and a reasonable journey time,,,wishing you well.
£3 London to York. Absolutely amazing. I got lucky with the fate but the service was also great.
Is the MEGABUS better than other coach companies. My cousin likes riding with MEGABUS coach and they are very comfortable and cheaper.
I find positives in everything tbh
What was the song on this video
Always good to compare, just in case
How seats are that Megabus?
Horay glovestrains is in my local city 😊
Surprised no wipers. Even in the 80s the National Express Rapides had wipers for the upper windows.
Coaches always remind me of school trips 😄
Well I guess everything is relaxing except the toilet
Do you get delay repay on the megabus or is that not a thing
Only 2hrs+ Delay Repay.
😅remembered manchester liverpool in 2018.
I went on Megabus once from Sheffield Meadowhall to London Victoria, never again !
Snottytastic it wasn't
Haha oh noes!
I’m doing that exact route in a few hours, but opposite(London to Sheffield).What was so bad about it?

At least your guaranteed a seat unlike the train from Inverness to Edinburgh..
@@walterfillingham True enough! Even my local line, Inverness to Aberdeen, can be hit and miss. Nothing worse than a two-car 158 turning up jammed to the rafters...
Oh geez! Sounds like a lovely route tho!
@@GLovesTrains Oh yes, it sure is! Highly recommended.
Always remember the megabus that dropped all its sump oil at Meadowhall interchange , the driver was asking passengers for cash to buy oil , they were well and truly stranded
When are you doing national express
Rather you than me, G. I've done the Megabus 'redeye' overnight from London to Glasgow (10 hours) and I'd confidently say that I'd rather walk both ways. On snapped ankles...
Geez 😂
I’ve long wanted to get a front seat on a long coach journey. Although with what I’ve heard about Megabus, it’s probably the only good thing about them
More comfortable seats than warmer than National express good prices also
Gotta say tbh, I prefer flix bus over mega bus, will you try National Express next? 😁👍
For sure!
@@GLovesTrains I look forward to that 👍😁
Lucy Lastic and G
Not a fan of long distance coaches but that’s probably because I’m 6ft2!
What is on the lower level? That seems a lot of wasted space…
Luggage space i think
Blackpool Tower lol😂
5:38 🤣🤣
If you do suffer from travel sickness, take some freezer ziplock bags with you, I used to be a Sunday School teacher and would take some to hand out as soon as one child was sick it would set the others off, not nice on a hot summers day.
🙂
New channel GLovesBuzzes, or should that be GLovesCoaches? 😂
Your right Simon it is relaxing journey
I could never ride a bus, even a short 10 minute ride. Thing with coaches is that they go in and out of cities that seems to take ages.
You need to rename yourself as GLovesBus😂, "squishy baby"
G loves coaches.. lol
How do people in wheelchairs use that bathroom 🚻!? 🤔 😅
Good question!
I do find coach travel so boring. Especially when most of the journey is on motorways. At least with rail, there is more variety of scenery.
Megabus
Bus, coach, what is the difference? Guessing a coach can also be a bus but some buses can't be a coach. Doubt a proper double decker bus isn't a coach.
Sounds about right 😂
Three quid extra?! You've been robbed for those seats
But yeah, I'll also have time for Megabus because seats are so much comfier than NatEx and fares are so much better as well
Always get me down London with no hassle or fuss
Haha still it was good sitting at the front!
Better than Flixbus, as Megabus actually turn up!!!
Glovesbuses lol
GLovestrains is the best
The M62 is always a pig of a motorway. I live near Boro - its such a dump - personally I'd rather be pee shamed by the light at the front of the bus letting fellow passengers know I was going than use a public loo in Boro where its basically still 1983.
Sunnerlan ( correct local pronunciation ) is a nicer place
