Bus very busy & had to sit at back by toilet…. It was very smelly !!!
The service was generally good with no major issues reported during the journey. However, there were complaints about not adhering to the scheduled time and USB points not working for the second time. The delays were attributed to traffic caused by an accident along a specific route mentioned by the driver.
Megabus Darlington London recent customer reviews
From the outset, the bus was significantly delayed by an hour, causing a great deal of inconvenience for all the passengers, myself included. While delays can occasionally be attributed to unavoidable circumstances, the lack of proper communication and updates only added to the frustration.
Compounding this inconvenience was the driver's concerning behavior. On multiple occasions, he demonstrated a notable lack of professionalism, adopting a rather rude demeanor towards at least two passengers. Such discourteous behavior creates an uncomfortable atmosphere and can leave a lasting negative impression on those who rely on public transportation to reach their destinations.
Overall, I must admit that I was thoroughly unimpressed with this bus journey. Punctuality and professionalism are essential pillars of quality service within the transportation industry, and regrettably, both aspects were found lacking in this particular instance. I can only hope that such shortcomings will be addressed and rectified in the future to ensure a more satisfactory experience for all passengers.
