DSCF6332 Stagecoach Western YJ64 AUP at Victoria Coach Station, London - 11 Mar 2017

Saturday 11 March 2017 – Megabus Gold Sleeper Coach 50312 (YJ64 AUP), a Van Hool TDX29 Astromega operated by Stagecoach Western, was on display at the 85th anniversary event at Victoria Coach Station, London.

The coach was employed on the overnight Glasgow-London service which covered the journey in around 8 hours (From Glasgow 2330 arriving London 0720/from London 2300 arriving 0700).

Whilst on display the lower deck was configured with passenger seating arranged round tables whilst the upper deck was configured with sleeping accommodation.

The coach operated fully configured with sleeping accommodation for the overnight runs and then was configured with seating on both decks for use on day time services. Studying the photos of the respective layouts comparisons can be made which show that the seat headrests remained on the bulkheads in either format. The metal armrests of the seats doubled as the restraints when configured with bunks. Beneath the headrests on the bulkhead are fittings that supported either the backrests of the day seats or the bars for the bunks
