Stagecoach sleeper service to end

Stagecoach has confirmed that its megabusgold.com overnight sleepercoach services between Scotland and London will cease to operate from 21 May 2017. A statement on the operator’s website said, ‘The services – which launched in 2013 – represented an innovative and new travel product and have helped provide a value for money long distance transport option over the past four years. While the services have proved popular with a loyal core base of customers, unfortunately the overall level of demand has been below the level required for us to be able to continue the routes. As a result, the final night of operation for our overnight sleepercoach routes across the UK will be 21 May 2017. We know that this will disappoint people who have enjoyed the service, and this is not a decision we have taken lightly, but unfortunately we have been left with no other option but to discontinue these routes.’
