Bus didn’t show up and then the next one that did had a busted headlight and couldn’t take up. The third bus was the one that was able to take us

Got to station to go on bus with a pre purchased ticket . I was told by the driver that the bus was full . I looked on the bus to find it half empty . Also I was told there was no room for large luggage . Fortunately another colleague came upon situation and he went to check back in the hold all luggage to find it half empty and loads of room for further customers. Had I not checked it out myself I would have missed my flight in Edinburgh airport and assumed what the bus driver was saying was correct . Obviously not the case.

The bus was never at the station and no departure boards showed where to go, I spent £20 total on tickets but both times the bus was nowhere to be seen, and no staff were available to show me where to go. I walked around the whole bus station looking but there wasn’t a single bus that matched the description of mine. I double checked the date, time, and bus station but nothing was wrong. I lost a lot of money which I need as a student.

The bus was 1 hour late but we pre-booked so we couldn't change to the other bus agency. Then as the bus arrived the divers complained why we waited for them as the citylink bus departs every 15 minutes from glasgow to Edinburgh. They were really unfriendly but anyway we took the bus and found it very unpleasant. The bus was almost empty but couldn't get rid if a certain smell something like babypampers. I felt sick from the smell after the 1 hour drive.

Rude staff (tattooed woman driver, with old man assisting). Bus was in very poor hygienic conditions, bad smells, dirty, with rubbish all over the place. Bad bad bad.
