As someone else has said coaches would have been a better bet, with dual-purpose seated Volvo Olympians not far behind. The latter are easily capable of motorway work.

I am struggling to think of anything less suited to hammering along the motorway all day than a Citaro artic. Goodness knows how much diesel they were consuming per day as there's no way they are geared anywhere near correctly for such duties - and that's before you come to the issue of keeping them cool...
