I nearly missed the coach as a replacement vehicle was sent and I didn't realise until the last minute when someone called last call for Megabus then had to change buses in Coventry the person who was meeting me had to pay extra parking as the bus was late on arrival at Birmingham, I suffer from anxiety and the extra stress wasn't good for me
