Megabus routes - where do they go?

[47820]

Had my first experience of the M18 Bath-London service Saturday, although only travelled as far as Swindon. Both coaches were "Hamilton Gray" (in reality there is no such operator yet and they run on Hamilton of Bow aka Mid Devon discs) Plaxton Panthers, both ex Go Ahead Oxford X90 coaches upseated to 48. No wifi or plugs as expected.

Outward 07.40 ex Bath had a 15 minute sit in Chippenham waiting time and the return 18.45 ex Swindon was 33 late off Swindon which was recovered to 9 late at Bath owing to the slack timings, quick set downs and a blatent ignoring of speed limits.

Interestingly Googled both coach registrations this morning and found several references to them being "Hamilton of Uxbridge" vehicles.

Does anyone know what refreshments it is reasonable to expect on the London to Cardiff daytime Gold service ?

First time I used it last summer I had a cold drink, coffee, choice of sandwiches, a muffin and a packet of biscuits. Subsequently I've never been offered a hot drink and only had sandwiches twice out of 7 or 8 trips.

It is nevertheless a very civillised way to travel and an absolute bargain if you can get a £5 ticket !

1135 Birmingham to Bristol M35
1530 Bristol to London M10
