The biggest problem was the 2-hour delayed departure, which turned into a 3-hour delay because our driver's shift ended, so he parked in the middle of nowhere, and we had to wait for the other driver (at least for 30min).

My coach was due at 16.35pm on Friday 1st March and I got no notification that it was running over 1.5hours late! I stood in the freezing cold and rain with other travellers not knowing what was happening! All the other coaches came and went except Megabus! I am obviously very disappointed and upset as this is the first time this has ever happened in years of using this service.
Thanks, Christine Wallace.

Me and my children were cold journey there and back there was no option to turn off aircon.
I had a child with special needs who needs to take time and the driver did not wait for us to be seated he rushed if.

All services ok. On boarding the driver asked all of us to sit at the back of the bus. He told us that the front seats were reserved. We were thus packed at the back. It turns out that the front seats remained vacant for the duration of the journey.
