The Megabus coach, SF13 FMO was departing temporarily for repairs on 3 April 2024. As it left, this shot of the oldest and newest buses in the collection next to each other was possible. The Megabus is almost double the size of the Titan. (c) K. Hay.
This VanHool TDX29 Astromega was the first double deck coach to be fitted out as a convertible sleeper for Scotland to London Megabus Gold sleeper services. After being relegated to more prosaic coach work, its final service role was on the luxurious Edinburgh sightseeing service, superbus.com for which it was reregistered A2 XXH, although it has now reverted to its original registration.
