Stagecoach (United Counties) Milton Keynes Bedford recent customer reviews

Well it wasn't a coach, it was a double decker bus. Then the bus was late by 12 mins. The driver ask to see my ticket, I had A QR code and it seemed she had never seen one before. It was more money than the train too. So I will continue with the train and driving. Definitely would not recommend it.
