Megabus service ME05?

[Class 33]

I was coming back from Amsterdam the other day on the Megabus. When I noticed a Megabus service ME05 driving off the ferry. Where does this service operate to/from? Most likely London is the terminating point in the UK, but where does it run to on the continent?

There's the ME02 London-Amsterdam. The ME04 London-Cologne. ME06 London-Paris. But what about the ME05??

This old thread seems to say http://www.railforums.co.uk/showthread.php?t=105619 ME05 goes to Germany.

Can't see anything about what destinations the ME05 serves in that thread. The ME04 is the only service between London and Germany as far as I can see. On the Megabus website if you select travel from London, then Cologne is the only destination in Germany you can travel direct to on one service. Though there are other Megabus services from Cologne onto Hamburg, Stuttgart, Munich, Berlin, etc.

Also in that thread, mention on an ME03 service. Where does that go?

ME05 London-Amiens-Paris
ME06 London-Lille-Paris
ME03 Amsterdam-Brussels-Paris

Yes you're right about the ME05 being the London-Paris service via Amiens. I didn't realise there were two different services to Paris. And for the overnight services, they both depart London Victoria at 2000.

Not sure if you're right about the ME03 though. I got on this service recently, and just checked my reservation number on my email and the service number appears to MB5. Also the forum member in that other thread mentioned that they saw an ME03 on the Dover-Calais ferry. Upon checking Wikipedia though, it does say ME03 is the Amsterdam-Paris service.

MB5 is Amsterdam-Brussels-Koln

If someone has seen an ME03 on the Dover-Calais ferry, the destination display was incorrect!

The dests very are incorrect or incomplete on Megabus services, I've found!
I still think that coach operators would benefit from making a list or database or whatever of all of their routes, as this would not just help enthusiasts but others in the general public too.
Megabus does come close with its 'interactive map', but this is quite often out-of-date or doesn't work 100% in my experience.
