The bus did not leave the station because of a faulty air conditioning system, by the time a replacement bus was organised I would have missed my flight. I ended up having to take a cab which cost in excess of £160 . Obviously left very deflated

There wasn’t a clearly marked sign for the bus to London Luton airport. I got to the Gloucester Green station with a few minutes to spare and by the time I asked someone which bus it was it had left the station. When I asked a bus driver when the next one was they directed me to a new bus. I showed them my ticket which clearly showed Luton Airport as my final destination but they directed me to a bus to Heathrow. I asked if it would take me to Luton airport and they said yes. We got to Heathrow and the the bus driver realized they made a mistake and had to find me a bus to Luton. This could have been avoided if there were signs for Luton on the bus and at the station and if the staff was more knowledgeable about the different destinations the buses serve from their station.
