Toilet was blocked. The driver allowed us to use the toilets at Stoke service station, the driver drove off with mine and 6 others belongs. Spent 2 hours on the phone with customer service to be told that the driver would stop however he didn’t stop. I have used megabus previously and had many okay trips with them. HOWEVER THIS WAS THE WORST. I gave megabus the benefit of the doubt many times but this has made me decide to go with national express instead. Very disappointed considering I value megabus. Have lots more to say but not enough time to say.
