Megabus UK passenger reviews
Pros Excellent service delivery Cons Timing. The bus arrived at Victoria time about 25 minutes late. Tips Apart from the timing, every other things considered perfect
Pros Good service delivery Cons Timing Most especially taken off from London Victoria bus station. We had a delay of half an hour. Tips Generally it was cool
Pros I really liked it, because it's was better than my last trip to Coventry. It's fast and relax. And also make some friends during my journey. Cons Nothing more just to continue to do more better than this year. Because my trip in the this year was better than last year. Tips I advise everyone to choose Megabus, because it is the best.
- LaverneAugust 3, 2024Manchester – Cambridge
Pros Trip was on time and drop off point close to my connecting transport. Cons More flexible times, and cost.
Pros The trip was actually operated by the Citylink bus. Everything was perfect, especially the staff and driver who are very flexible to allow us to take an earlier bus instead of waiting for our originally scheduled one due to our earlier arrival at the bus station. Cons Keep doing the excellent work!
Pros There was no working charging point's my mobile phone was dead my whole trip Therefore my travel was so boring Cons Please check charges points Tips 1
- StephanieAugust 19, 2023Newcastle-under-Lyme – Hull
Pros Comfy reliable Cons The driver could be more helpful Tips No
- MuhammadApril 23, 2023Newcastle-under-Lyme – Bradford
Pros On time reaching Cons Nothing else Tips Bradford to Stoke on Trent
Pros On time, clean, good value Cons Able to recline seats
Pros Really nice driver and spacious clean coach.
Pros The trip overall was lovely. Multiple interactions with Megabus staff and everyone was friendly and helpful. I would recommend this way of getting from London to Edinburgh to just about anyone (though I'm not sure how well they can accommodate those with limited mobility). The landscape along the way is gorgeous, this is a great way of seeing some of the countryside. Cons My only complaint would be that, as much as I'm grateful to have had bathroom facilities available on board, I do wish the rest of the bus wouldn't have smelled of those facilities throughout the trip. Tips Please manage your expectations and be reasonable. I feel like so many of the complaints I saw before my own experience now seem like people who wanted a first class experience at bargain prices. At under $20, I was grateful for a clean, reasonably comfortable seat from point A to point B with a driver who clearly did that route often and wasn't being reckless about it. No unnecessary detours, we left on time and yes, we did arrive late but when I looked back I don't see how we could have done it faster (safely). We did encounter some construction along the route, so maybe try to factor that possibility into your journey as well.
Pros Was easy enough to organise and could take a fair amount of luggage. The chairs had chargers. Very nice touch Cons Pillows Tips Bring a pillow and blanket
Pros Every thing is good and cheep
Cons To the best of my knowledge l really enjoyed the trip and we arrive early the bus driver was so nice and l can not change any thing the service was excellent for that price Tips Nice and lovely trip and we arrive early than expected l will always use this service and much l will recommend it to my friends.
Pros Coach was on time, driver was polite and journey was smooth. Cons The transfers in Leeds Tips Use ear piece for songs
Pros It was great and its been long have seen my family so it was a great experience Cons Maybe we need WiFi in the bus Tips They should always check on Wanderu and mega bus
Pros Courteous driver. Excellent cafe behind Inverness depot. Cons Ensure backup 2nd ticket be emailed customer well ahead of trip.
Pros Departure and arrival were on time, clean bus, experience driver, Cons The driver said 20 minutes break but he set up after 30 minutes Tips No,
Pros I liked that the bus wasn't particularly full and by booking through megabus we saved money because the city link prices of the same bus ride were more expensive. Cons We know that there is an electric bus fleet operating in eastern Scotland and it would be nice if you could be all electric or atleast hybrid. In addition, vegan awareness posters and information pamphlets could be adorned on the inside of all the busses. Tips Please go vegan and/or reduce your consumption of animals and animal based products.

Megabus UK Bus Guide & FAQs

We recommend you bring a book or download a movie just to play it safe.

Yes, there are power outlets onboard Megabus UK buses. You can generally find one or two sockets per row of seats, so be a good traveller and check if your seat neighbor might want to charge up their devices as well. With the onboard power outlets, you can charge both a computer and USB devices with a USB power adapter that typically comes with most phones and tablets.
