There wasn't any wifi I am a visitor from South Africa and I needed to get in touch with my niece on What's app to tell her the time I would be arriving, Luckily I had a nice passenger sitting next to me and she used her phone to get in touch with my niece

1st time on Megabus - an hour late leaving Manchester, had to swap buses at Leeds to an overheated coach without a toilet, or extra leg room paid for. New driver didn’t help load or unload bags, passengers having to scramble for cases at destination. Will stick to train in future
