The toilets at Victoria bus station were absolutely disgusting. The scheduled departure time of 4pm from Victoria to Heathrow T5 from stand 7 was cancelled without explanation and instead left from stand 3 at 4.30pm, again without any information being forthcoming.

Very smooth. I regret to have wasted my money on flixbus who couldn't wait or didn't show up last night which led to my urgent booking of megbus which someone has advised me when the price was 9£ but I said am not comfortable using it reason I went for flix. A tryer of megabus gave me rest of mind and your services shall be my first consideration going forward.
