I wasn't actually with Megabus, but Stagecoach. The journey was fine, but I was told that I needn't have booked on line and paid what I did, as all single fares if bought on board were only two pounds if bought on board. I paid seven out and around nine back. This seems a rather corrupt way of doing business, frankly! I would have appreciated more information about ticket pricing before booking online, which the drivers alerted me not to do again.
