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…
We actually arrived 25 minutes early, but if you’re so uncomfortable you can’t really sleep, seven and a half hours still seems like a very long time!
Now first a coffee and a hearty breakfast to get me started.
Apparently the MegaBus Gold coach broke down, and has been replaced by what seems to be the oldest vehicle in the fleet… So no luxurious seats, no private berths, no WiFi, and not even power outlets for the passengers. And I was really looking forward to use the sleeper service for the first time!
That’ll be a call to customer services in the morning for a refund…
Update: After a short Twitter exchange, they promptly refunded me the MegaBus – MegaBus Gold price difference, so no complaints there.
