Latest news is 7 Astromegas on order, expected to go to Aberdeen. Aberdeen's sole Neoplan will then be withdrawn, and the 6 B12BT Panthers redeployed. At this stage it looks like they'll be split between Yellow Glasgow (Citylink), and Hull which will be expanding its work and dropping the megabusplus brand in favour of ordinary megabus soon.

There are also 10 B13RT/Panther and 11 B11T/Overdecker on order, no details as yet on where they will go. Rugby is a good bet for the B13Rs though as they upgrade to all-15m operation.

Hopefully Rugby do get some more 15m coaches as they need them judging by my limited experience on Megabus. I used the M17 on my holiday the other week, and it was packed between Preston and Glasgow on a shorter coach (Jonckheere V-reg thingy I think it was V908 DDY, but it wasn't very good either way).
