Megabus Cardiff Northampton recent customer reviews

I enjoyed the driver who was warm, friendly and jovial. What I didn't enjoy the trip was because of the issues we met on our way. Road block, so we had to turn back and also heavy traffic. A journey that was meant to end by 19:5,5 ended up terminating at 22:00.
