Mega Bus, National Express London to Edinburgh (dangerous, companies)

Please help me to understand if it is dangerous to take such trip during the night.

No or less the driver is drunk or theres a massive blizzard/mega storm or theres no street lights.

When I studied abroad in the UK, my friend and I took the National Express at night from London to Edinburgh. I also took a few other night trips with both companies just by myself. I felt it was just fine and didn't really see any danger. The only thing I recalled was that the London-Edinburgh route was one of the most popular bus routes - not sure if more travelers would mean a more dangerous environment or not.

How cool! I studied in UK as well, but took few trips to Edinburgh by driving a car.
