It will be on the M20 - despite being 900 branded, it is part of the Cumbernauld-based Megabus ‘South’ fleet for use on the M11/M20 alongside its Megabus liveried sisters (50406-11) while it’s ‘900’ branded sisters (50413-8 plus Citylink spare 50419) have been based at Kilmarnock depot since this time last year due to issues at Cumbernauld - hence their occasional appearance on the X76 and the X76 Panoramas appearances on 900s and Citylink work.

As additional information - Cumbernauld’s Megabus fleet is split into North and South, the Panoramas make up the south fleet while the Van Hool Astromegas are the north fleet, Astromegas are no longer trusted to work south of the Scottish boarder hence the occasional appearance of Parks Panoramas on M20s if there’s a shortage at Cumbernauld.
