I believe the Overdeckers are going to be used on the M20. The Astromegas are for the M11 alongside the older ones though I believe some of them are currently being used on Megabus services between Aberdeen and Glasgow/Edinburgh.

Thanks for the update.

Correct me if I'm wrong but is the M20 is the anglo-scottish route the eastern route - A1/M1, and the M11 is the western one, via the M6/M74?

M20 is indeed the eastern route. So I'm very much waiting for the day the Overdeckers enter service on that route. However, most of this week, the M20 has been diverted between Bradbury in County Durham and Dishforth due to the A1 being closed. Indeed, on Wednesday morning, the southbound M20 diverted via the A689 and Stockton to access the A66 and then A19 to head south.
