If you're 6'5" like I am, that's reason enough. Coaches are typically
designed for 10-year-olds, IMX.

Not a lot wrong with the service, just that it isn't at all
comfortable if you're over 5'. It also typically isn't any cheaper
than YP Railcard train fares.

Except for the £1 advance purchase fares on certain routes (though
admittedly none of them involve Stansted).

True, but none also involve Milton Keynes. Most are $CITY to and from
London, to compete primarily with Souter's Megabus.

I took the bus replacement they run from Liverpool St., and the coach was
pretty spacious (I'm 6'4). I have taken national express coaches before,
and they're most definitely smaller. Leg-snappingly so.
