Great trip down to Derby - great driver… Thursday 7 Dec On return spent 50 mins freezing in NE bus shelter - coach hadn’t arrived 50 mins later (was supposed to leave at 11.10.) inside at reception said coach held up and would arrive 12.20. No one from N E came outside & told us about hold up. Appalling service…We could have gone to cafe & have a hot cup of tea…

Megabus Derby Leeds recent customer reviews

Wasn’t able to get on the bus because the wrong bus stop was displayed on the ticket as well as a wrong bus number. The driver also said I wasn’t allowed because of the wrong bus number on the ticket. I had to pay for a taxi which was a lot of money. I am very displeased
