Was originally getting an earlier bus to London from Darlington but that cancelled and got put on a later bus. That bus made it to Leeds but had a flat tyre. Wasnt told was happening for half an hour then told we needed to wait 45 mins for an another coach. I was already cutting it fine so I had to give up on coach and get a train from Leeds that cost me another £70. Bus on way home was almost an hour late. Terrible experience all round would never use Meagabus again.
