It was very terrible, the mega bus did not show as expected only for an other bus to arrive and could not inform us waiting that he was the one driving us to Manchester and the same driver was very rude and disrespectful, he troway my bags out of the bus .

Helen P.
The ride was okay but the 20min delay was alarming. We all know we work with time here. On the ticket it was advised we get to the park at least 30min which was obeyed then imagine another 20min lateness, that’s like a 50min waiting time which is wrong.
