Wow. That's ambitious to say the least. Have you ever done an overnighter on a Megabus before? I've done it once and got about half-an-hours sleep. On that occasion it was a Compass Royston operated coach and it was cramped, stuffy, wet and generally awful. I was tired and miserable the next day and just wanted to go to bed. It made my day at The National Archive in Kew almost unbearable; every subsequent visit I went down the day before and stayed in a hostel. Because of that one allocation I've used National Express ever since - comfortable seats, plug sockets and only £3.50 difference in price!
