Megabus Leeds London recent customer reviews

I couldn’t find the Megabus at Leeds station. There is a sign but very high and not very obvious where to go so I missed my bus. There are no human reps to ask what to do for next bus. It wasn’t nice.

The bus couldn't leave Leeds but the driver didn't tell anyone why. We just had to watch him phone. After an hour we were led to another bus outside the bus station. It arrived at 3:40 at Finchley Road.
