Megabus UK User Reviews
Megabus UK receives praise for its overall service, with users highlighting it as a preferable option compared to other modes of transport. However, some feedback points out areas for improvement, such as unclear bus stop directions and limited legroom on seats. Additionally, there were mentions of insufficient heating and lack of announcements during stops.
It was a freezing cold day the driver assisted me with my luggage and was very polite. The coach was very clean comfortable and warm. Also I was very impressed with the interior design of the seats.
Sue D.
I will not be using it again. The stop is in an awful place, took ages to find it, says on your site arrive at least 10 mins before {I arrived 20 to be on the safe side}. The bus was 10 mins late. The stop was cold and miserable I felt uncomfortable being a woman on her own in such a dark place. I sat in a seat at the front of the bus as I cannot easily walk upstairs it was bumpy so much so I got a bit travel sick.
