According to customer reviews, there were significant issues with the service provided. Many customers complained about delays and lack of leg room during their 6-hour journey, resulting in discomfort. Additionally, communication from the driver was poor, especially for passengers seated at the back of the bus. However, it's worth mentioning that Ian from Birmingham received positive feedback for his helpfulness during an emergency situation.

I’m very unhappy with the service of the driver, some very rough ride we had experienced and one of my suitcases had the handle damaged, overall just not happy with the service of Mega Bus, very disappointed and I am afraid I won’t be recommending to my friends

On the trip to Portsmouth from Manchester we had a mishap. A window was broken. So we stopped in Birmingham. Everyone existed and we told to return at a certain which I did. They said there will be a further delay come back 12:30pm which I did. I realized that my luggage had been put on a Linberg bus and had departed. I traveled on the next bus to Portsmouth. Long story short I am in the Holiday Inn in Southampton without my bag. It is a large black bag with a green luggage tag. I am to depart tomorrow on the cruise ship Britannia P & O Lines. The bag contains all my clothing.
