Fleet
The Megabus fleet is normally easily identifiable, with the megabus.com name on the front and sides in yellow on a blue base and the Megabus logo on the left side of the coach (facing forward) and rear of the bus.
Accessible coaches are operated on routes between England and Wales, the M9 and M90 in Scotland, and the M20.
Vehicles are owned and maintained by various Stagecoach subsidiaries. When branded vehicles are unavailable other Stagecoach vehicles can be used or coaches hired in, as in the case of Coachmasters of Rochdale for the Manchester routes. Stagecoach vehicles range from standard double-deck types such as the Volvo Olympian and Dennis Trident, to Volvo B10M single deckers or even Dennis Dart SLF midibuses. Red Stagecoach London double deckers from Leyton were often seconded to Megabus motorway work until the sale of that company to Macquarie Bank. When using substitute vehicles, there may not always be an on board toilet, and in such cases rest stops are made.
Some journeys are contracted to other operators using non-Megabus liveried vehicles, including Turners Coachways of Bristol, Tetleys of Leeds, Hamiltons of Uxbridge and Compass of Royston.

sits a fleet of small black ships,

their spars like burned matchsticks.”

Which I gaze on so fondly today,
Were to change by tomorrow, and fleet in my arms,
Like fairy-gifts fading away.”
