Low prices and excellent service

Advantages: Excellent value for money, great comfort on buses operated, good staff
Disadvantages: Delays, bus stop in Birmingham is in the middle of nowhere

Megabus is the company who are ever increasing with their services thanks to the offer of exceptionally cheap travel to a variety of uk destinations. So what is all the fuss about?

I found the prices being paid for both trips to be exceptional and when compared to other bus companies ...
...but decided I would never know unless I gave them a shot. The buses both left from Glasgow Buchanan Bus Station and were excellent buses with the quality on offer of a similar standard to other companies charging a lot more money for the same journey. I had booked online and so all I had to do was produce my printed travel voucher and this allowed me onto the bus with a staff member taking my suitcase and placing it in the hold for me. Once on the ...

This no frills airline are great value for money

Advantages: Cheap, reliable flights.

The staff that I have come across are all friendly and professional. I have always been more than satisfied with the customer service. There are some drawbacks ...
