I was sat in a seat below some sort of hatch, I don’t know weather there was a leak from the rain or it was condensation but I had water dripping on me all the way to Manchester. I could not move seats as the bus was full. I travelled with my coat hud up all the way to stop the water droplets wetting my head and hair. Not good at all.
