It's not a conventional bus route. It should still be coaches imo, it's ideal for it, just not the awful interdeck vehicles which have way too many steps to get on board.
I still don't understand why they don't sell it as a premium service similar to The Airline service down in Oxford. The train service between the two cities is dire as an understatement so offering a premium product would do well imo and the routes aren't a million miles away from each other.
Heck you could make a case for extending it to the airport since the Metro is down every other week and would give direct connections further down the region. The Edinburgh Airbus which everyone expected to die overnight after the opening of the tram is still doing very well.
