We were put on a bus at Gatwick early and the person at the booth stated that when we get t London Victoria see the counter person there and they will put us on an earlier bus. But when we got to Victoria the person told us if we change our time we would have to pay 5 pounds and we only arrived 30 minutes before our origanal time.

The staff member was extremely polite and kind. He was very personable. My reason for not giving a higher review is that I came from overseas and only had an adapter in my luggage which was in the hold below. I wanted to charge my phone and there was only a british charging port, not a USB on board. The lady in front of me also had the same issue. I believe the bus driver even lent her a charger for her to use. Luckily I had my laptop in my bag and used that to charge my phone - otherwise my onward journey would have been badly implicated.
