Those kinds of routes are dead easy for a coach as it's mostly motorway with the odd bit of city.
Compared to those routes the X9/X10 has considerably more start/stop driving, which is more strenuous on the drivetrain.
Lets be honest, these Coaches as pretty as they look are already run ragged from their days treading Oxford to London and the OBC were thrilled when someone wanted them.
