Here’s a vehicle that would make Brian Souter proud. Nicknamed Stagecoach, it’s US President Obama’s touring coach that bears no resemblance whatsoever to Stagecoach’s Citylink Gold or the 18th & 19th century pioneering covered wagons helping to open up the American Mid-west.

Brand new and bomb-proof, this is one of two belonging to the US government. Obama is using it for his own Mid-west tour, incidentally in the same region as Megabus operates, though we doubt the Obama version is available by yield management online booking.

At $1.1mil, the Canadian-built Prevost even puts to shame country stars’ own touring coaches, more usually seen in the Mid-west.

Additional fitting out was by Tennessee specialist Hemphill Brothers, whose list of clients range from stetson-wearing country stars to the usual prurient, under-dressed, bawdy, over-sexualised, bedroom-ready teen idols.
