Just how far can you travel by bus from London in 24 hours?

My hunch is that the best odds to get about as far in the US by bus would be the NE corridor, specifically from Washington to NY (which is about 225 miles / 362 km). Most of these cities have transit authorities that cover their metro region, and they'll probably all have bus service into the adjacent one.

Think that would break down around Philadelphia - New York, unless you consider the NJ transit coaches "local" buses.

I just looked out of curiosity, and it looks like it's doable (not sure about the time frame, just the route options). From Philadelphia city center:

SEPTA 4 to Cecil B Moore Av

SEPTA 3 to Frankford Transportation Center

SEPTA 14 to Oxford Valley Mall

SEPTA 127 to Trenton Transit Center

NJT 409 to High St & Broad St

NJT 413 to Camden

NJT 317 to Asbury Park

NJT 139 to NY Port Authority

I mean, if you're including the 317, you could already get on it in central Philadelphia (its other terminus). That's sort of my point though - those buses are big Greyhound-style intercity buses, not the hop on / hop off city buses from the british experiment.
