Is Megabus as good as National Express?

Established Member. If I had a choice between National Express and Megabus, I would choose the latter. I have generally found Megabus to be more comfortable and cheaper. Its been a few years since i've used Megabus though (although depends if you would count the Oxford Tube which I went on last month - very impressive) ...

A bit more comfortable than the oldest of local trains, but that's just a function of how old some of the trains stock is in Britain. The differentiator between the two services are cost (megabus cheaper) and convenience.
