Clean coach, well driven. Polite & helpful drivers. We didn’t appreciate that the train station & coach station were in different locations & got lost on the way back from Victoria train station by lack of signage.

Ended up giving up on Megabus. It didn’t turn up. Waited 30 minutes- still no show. Bus tracking didn’t work. Phone not answering. Couldn’t wait any longer as needed to be at a London event at noon. Ended up going by train.
