I'm doing this from memory but I guess you could do Oxford > Aylesbury > Hemel Hempstead > Watford. You used to be able to do Aylesbury to Watford on the 500 but I don't think it runs anymore or they shortened the route. I once did London to Edinburgh by local bus and without travelling on express/limited stop buses. From where I lived, Day 1 - I got the 258 to Watford then Aylesbury > Oxford. Day 2 Oxford - Chipping Norton > Stratford Upon Avon > Redditch > Brum. Day 3 - Brum > Wolverhampton > Stafford > Newcastle Under Lyme > Biddulph > Macclesfield > Manchester. Day 4 - Manchester > Bolton > Preston > Lancaster > Lake District (Keswick perhaps). Day 5 - Lake District > Carlisle > Dumfries > Edinburgh. Something like that anyway. It was around 15 years ago so routes will have changed.

Great video James! This route is intriguing me and I might have to give it a go! I loved the joke about the length of the bus 😂 Beauchamp is pronounced Bee-Chum. We're a weird lot in Leicester!

Cheers, we're quite a strange lot in Hinckley too - don't think anyone in the town as ever done this apart from me, anyway I digress 🤣. It's actually made me more determined to do more vlogs like this whether it be bus or rail related. Thank You for the correct pronunciation as well and I look forward to your video should you decide to do the route too 👍

Excuse my ignorance, but what's the big attraction of Nuneaton? I'm x-spotter from the 70s and a local man living within a mile of the station.
