MEGABUS.COM continues to peg away at the bottom end of the market and for those who don”t want to fly or train and have plenty of time to spare. The bus operator, part of Stagecoach, is to introduce twice-daily services from both Aberdeen and Inverness to London via Edinburgh or Glasgow. The fare schedule looks very attractive but passengers should factor in the cost of refreshments on what will be long journeys. London is 551 miles from Aberdeen and 575 miles from Inverness. High-quality coaches with toilets and dedicated luggage space are used on the new services, many of which will also feature air conditioning and reclining seats. Research shows megabus.com is appealing to a wide market, including students, commuters, families and ”silver surfers” ” the over 55s market who use the Internet (or get their friends to do it for them).
