Is it really the full journey? Or are there any missing parts of the route? I hate when I commit to check long drives only to discover that there are huge chunks missing! By the length of the video, it should be the whole thing... ~8h:40m is what Google Maps says it takes, but that's usually for cars, buses drive slower, so I'm unsure...
That was a really nice trip, watched over a few days. I saw The Angel of The North and loads of other places I'll never get to see in real life. Thanks to who it was that filmed it, you have made an old timer happy. Regards.
It's great to watch in pieces - and really beautiful towards the north end - but the idea of doing it all at once makes me really appreciate the railways!
As the bus came off the motorway I wondered where he was going because I didn't really recognise the area, But then the driver announced that we were in Durham, it's a place that I have never really been to before but I gather it's quite a historical city much like Bath, York or Chester. I love those sort of places, they have so much character and charm, often very beautiful places to visit.
It took a very long time but now the a1 is motorway from the outskirts of doncaster to scotch corner. There is also speculation that the great north road ai will be dualled between morpeth and berwick upon tweed. It is up to the labòur transport secertary to implement the proposal.
In my experience of driving buses between London and Edinburgh is that the 2nd time is easier than the 1st, but not much different the third time and so on.
A real difference in the volume of traffic once you pass the Catthorpe Interchange which is basically where the M6 starts. I often think that the M6 is better motorway than the M1. Although the M1 gets all the attention, the M6 you could argue is better built for purpose and provides a much more direct route to Scotland and Glasgow which is arguably the 3rd or 4th biggest city in the UK - without any doubt the biggest city in Scotland.
That's the first time ever i have saw a bus pull into a service station on a motorway to fill up with diesel when it's had passengers on board. Still, not bad going - got up to Nottinghamshire before he needed to pull jn to the BP filling station.
I think it let's you see just how big and important a City Manchester has become for the Northern half of England that even though we are on the wrong side of the country - Manchester is generally thought of as being in the North West of England and therefore closer to the M6 which serves the Western half of the UK than the M1 but yet there's still a major road dedicated for to take traffic from the M1 just North of Sheffield to the 3rd largest city in the UK and is sometimes referred to as the Northern Powerhouse. It's why it has probably the biggest international airport outside of London in the UK.
As the bus makes its way northwards between Newcastle upon Tyne and Edinburgh on both sides of the road you are able to see bright yellow fields. For those of you who are perhaps unfamiliar with what they are it's Rapeseed which is ground down into an oil very similar to sunflower oil or vegetable oil for cooking with and Rapeseed oil is often favoured over other oils because it's not supposed to burn so easily. My apologies, lecture over for today.
You may be interested in making a similar video for the London to Glasgow route on board the Megabus M11 route that includes stops at Birmingham, Manchester Airport, Manchester City centre, Preston, Lancaster University and Glasgow. It takes the M40 between London and Birmingham, the M6 between Birmingham and Carlisle before taking the M74 up to the M73 and the M8 into Glasgow City centre.

@@DrivingScenicRoutes Thank you.
You stopped at trowell north forecourt where I used to work in 1990…brilliant
It's great to watch in pieces - and really beautiful towards the north end - but the idea of doing it all at once makes me really appreciate the railways!
Was first and last time ... loooong journey. Cheap tikets , somewhere around 40pounds while train was 220 :)

Why do busses have to stop so close to the cars in front of them almost looks like they gonna hit someone

Now coz you said , you made me realise I never seen a buss in the petrol stations as well hahahah , NEVER !
The key to watching this is definitely in installments.
Indeed a long one lol

Sounds good 👍 I might do that soon
You're driving on the wrong side😂 greetings from the continent, Europe
🤣🤣
Brilliant video thanks just watched London to Glasgow good video would you consider it
Is this a double-decker bus? Is it possible to do long journey across Britain on double-decker buses?
Yes it is :)
What route did you take?
The route from London to Edinburgh
Don’t be an ass
Who want to watch the latter stages of this trip through heavy rain?
That white bus is all over the road no indication
That’s a long ride to Edinburgh
Good camera maintenance, to wipe the steamed up windows etc.
Some very heavy showers as you got closer to the Scottish capital.
Thank you sir , hope you're having a good day :)
Was this filmed early 2019?
In 2023 around April I if I remember right

Can we have English language commentary please? (Or if the foreign tongues heard are other passengers, turn off the microphone.)
