Megabus Manchester Birmingham recent customer reviews
the luggage staff told me to lose my ticket departure time from Manchester to Birmingham 10:30pm I had to buy another ticket
I booked the bus for the wrong date so I didn’t get on the bus. However mega bus only gave us 10 mins to make the amendment, since we are not familiar with the system. We could not make the amendment in the limited time. We missed the bus on that day.
I am very disatisfied because my trip was 22:55 o'clock 16.06.23 from manchester airport to birmingham but the first megabus that Took me from there was 04:30 Next morning 17. 06.23. Even mega coach drivers are not helping when asked ony a question. Very very disappointed. I will never use megabus again. Bye bye
