I’ve done a return trip on FlixBus between London and Augsburg with a stopover at Brussels Nord and it’s not the coach itself that is tiring but fellow passengers. It’s like all good manners stay at home. And I’m not talking just about coughing at you but for example setting up a bedding on the floor next to your feet, so you practically can’t move for few hours (won’t be even mentioning what type of travellers decided to do that). Trains, though more expensive, seem like a safer alternative nowadays.

I've had a couple of days ago travel inside Germany, around 500 kilometres and have years ago decided to avoid coaches for the same reasons as you. This time, I went for the Deutschlandticket instead and took local trains and have to say, that for the same reasons, I wouldn't do it again and opt for an ICE instead. Years ago, I did this a lot and it was also fun and still cheap. The Deutschlandticket wasn't a thing but 44 Euro could get you a countrywide ticket for one day in local trains. You usually had more leg room, you had your luggage right next to you and the journey was usually a lot of 'watching the world go by', watching movies and hearing music. This time, I had soooo many people with bad manners and as a 'reward' I now have a cold, back pain and knee pain. Never again!

A couple of years ago, when me and my girlfriend lived in different cities far apart, I had to travel to her by bus or train each second weekend and it always were trips that were around eight to ten, sometimes even more hours. I still remember, how constipation was a thing in a way that I tried to get some food in order to constipate myself for long enough. Why? Well, I had several cases of bus or train toilets being closed or broken. When you sit in a bus and the next stop will be in one or two hours, you don't want a sudden code brown comming through. A broken train toilet is not as bad - you can still get of the train at the next stop and try to find a place to do your business there, but then you have to take the next train, which could come in one or two hours. My way of 'declogging' myself usually included lots of water, some movement and things with lots of fibre to get things going again. And yes, this felt always like a punishing endurance test to me, too - but it's the fault of the people who design the interior of busses and trains and don't take the physical needs of the customers into account but only regulations and money.

I never had any problems with the passengers the times I did Eurolines or Flixbus. Only that the first time I went from NL to Copenhagen with Eurolines it took only 8.5 hours from 12 midnight till 8:30. Slept fine against the window. Nowadays that journey with Flixbus takes 10 hours up to 15 hours ! (with more trips though ..). And one time after getting stuck in Hamburg rush hour, the Eurolines driver thought that he should make up , by driving >110 kmh ... Scary ! I was thrown all over my seat, overhauling many private vehicles ...

The appalling legroom on the Edinburgh to London bus, reminds me that the gold standard for bus travel was set many decades ago by Greyhound in the US. Even the 1970/80s MCI MC9 featured 3 axle air suspension, a rear mounted diesel engine, air conditioning, reclining seats with armrests, footrests, an onboard loo and massive knee room (some very long distance only seated 43 passengers). Journeys frequently include a 15-20 minute rest stop in every 6 to 8 hour travel sequence, with up to an hour in major cities for thorough cleaning, and where bus stations had good passenger facilities (food and restrooms). My longest trip was from Old Faithful Inn, Yellowstone to the NY Port Authority Terminal on 42nd St, via Minneapolis and Chicago. Something like a 60 hour bus ride for 2300 miles, comfortable travel with none of the Flix bus stresses. Ironically, since 2021, Flix’s parent German company has owned Greyhound US.

That Edinburgh to London coach looks like one of the Yutong coaches, I've heard how poor the interior space is , and they look considerably shorter outside compared to other coaches( tri axles excluded). The cost of these coaches are cheaper ( they are Chinese) compared to European makes but obviously the cheaper price reflects in poorer passenger comfort. Cracking video scott, obviously the best way to Milan is by plane.

@@kudzumoose3861 I think the point was they had no assigned seats. It seems that you can pay extra on Flixbus to get seats with the people you want to travel with or in the seat position you want. The other seats (up to the capacity of the bus) are taken on a first come, first served basis. This means that you would need to take up any non-reserved single seats that were available, even if you were travelling in a group. The family hadn't reserved seats and had got on early and just bagged a block of seats - in the hope people wouldn't kick up a fuss that their seats had been taken.

The Flixbus used from Edinburgh to London was marked as a Chinese Youtong bus though I could not see from the steering wheel what engine it had Youtong or otherwise. The nect coach was a Dutch VDL. I encountered a Youtong in Cuba some years ago and the leg room was less than in a Fiat also used there. I have not seen Flixbus using Kassbohrer Setra la crème de la crème but I go back to postwar Leyland Tigers, 28 seater Bedford Duples with screaming gearbox two stroke Beadle Commers Ford Plaxtons and Royal Blue Harringtons with the rear dorsal fin. It is always the first thing I look for on these superb videos to see the coach builder and the engine. Many thanks for another enjoyable journey.

Just done an overnight trip on Flixbus from London to Paris two weeks ago and you're right, Bercy is a real shithole. Once I got there early morning I walked straight to Gare de Lyon to rest. A few days later when I got back home to the U.S. I was diagnosed with COVID and pneumonia. If, I recall correctly, it takes two days for incubation and another five days until it becomes non-contagious. If my math is correct, it's about the time period of my bus trip to Paris.
