I arrived the Airport Station very early. I took NX170 departing by 12:05 noon instead of the original booking NX171 leaving by 13:20. The driver was friendly and helpful. One negative comment is that no sign of “National Express” was shown on the bus bays A, B, C.

Unfortunately I was unable to board my flight so I immediately tried to change my ticket for a later date, I could not find my reservation number on the confirmation e mail, so I e mailed megabus and was told ( after some time) that I was unable to change my ticket as the 24hr deadline had passed.

No information on the screens at the airport to advise of the delay. Due 16.35 and at 17.05 only by asking another megabus driver found out it was delayed by another 1.5 hrs and not due until 18.20pm. I ended up getting a taxi as just wanted to get home after a long day travelling. Train strikes also on that day.
