I thought I had booked a Madrid airport from Salamanca but ended up with only a trip to Madrid. There was no indication of the departure point The actual us company had no signage of the company I expected to travel with.

My only problem was to do with luggage. When the bus arrived at Moncloa, which is where I wanted to finish my journey, I could not do so as apparently I had put my case in the wrong part of the luggage section under the bus. If there was an announcement advising of this at the start of the journey, I did not hear it, and certainly when I myself put the case in, there was no one to advise on the importance of this. So at Moncloa, although I could see my case, the driver would not allow me to access it and said that I needed to travel to the next stop which was Sol. This added 15 minutes to the journey and was stressful for me as I was travelling alone and I needed to find a way to Chamartín to connect with the AVE.
