Didn't realise Stagecoach allowed other operators to run Megabus services. (I knew about Stagecoach running services for rival National Express, through their acquisition of Yorkshire Traction.)

Frestones Coaches have also been operating the Norwich service since before 2015
Mid Wales travel operated a Aberysywyth - Birmingham service a few years ago. Using their own vehicles
