It’s been a while, but it seems our luggage will be thoroughly checked again. Last time they did this, we had to leave one passenger lighter. But hey, what do you expect, on a budget bus coming from Amsterdam? 🙂

And we’re ready for take-off, or whatever it is called when a bus leaves. Luckily the power sockets in this MegaBus are working, so I don’t have to worry about running out of power before even reaching the UK.
The coach is only half full, but for whatever reason, some passengers insisted on occupying the the seats next to me on the front row. Oh well, they’re quite tiny, so I don’t mind much, as long as they don’t want to take over the power socket.
And on the Shuttle we go! Which doesn’t necessarily mean we’ll be leaving anytime soon…
On my previous Scotland trips, MegaBus used the ferry to cross the Channel. That usually worked out pretty well, sometimes we were even able to catch an earlier ferry, resulting in a considerably shorter travel time!
Apparently it is now customary at MegaBus to use the Eurotunnel for daytime crossings. So far my experiences with the car train have not been favourable: delays of at least two hours! And if I am to believe some of the bus drivers, these delays happen more often than not!
I hope MegaBus will keep the interval between the arrival of the buses from Brussels, and the departure of the buses to Scotland at least three hours, preferably even four, otherwise the risk of missing my connection might just become too big…
Well, that’s it, I boarded my MegaBus Gold, a real one this time. Not a lot of space, as you can see, but comfortable enough to sleep. In theory at least, because the movements of a bus are quite a bit more unpredictable than those on a sleeper train…
Now I’ll just have to hope there will be no delays and I’ll be able to catch my next bus in London.
Good night!
