DSCF6330 Stagecoach Western YJ64 AUP at Victoria Coach Station, London - 11 Mar 2017

Saturday 11 March 2017 – Megabus Gold Sleeper Coach 50312 (YJ64 AUP), a Van Hool TDX29 Astromega operated by Stagecoach Western, was on display at the 85th anniversary event at Victoria Coach Station, London.

The coach is employed on overnight Glasgow-London service which completes the journey around 8 hours (From Glasgow 2330 arriving London 0720/from London 2300 arriving Glasgow 0700).

The lower deck was configured with passenger seating arranged round tables whilst the upper deck was configured with sleeping accommodation.

The idea is that the coach operates fully configured with sleeping accommodation for the overnight runs and be configured with seating on both decks for use on day services. Studying the photos of the respective layouts comparisons can be made which show that the seat headrests remain on the bulkheads in either format. The metal armrests of the seats dual as the restraints when configured with bunks. Beneath the headrests on the bulkhead are fittings that support either the backrests of the day seats or the bars for the bunks.
