Trip was good but bus was 15 minutes late so not up to every 30 minutes as advertised.

Got to station to go on bus with a pre purchased ticket . I was told by the driver that the bus was full . I looked on the bus to find it half empty . Also I was told there was no room for large luggage . Fortunately another colleague came upon situation and he went to check back in the hold all luggage to find it half empty and loads of room for further customers. Had I not checked it out myself I would have missed my flight in Edinburgh airport and assumed what the bus driver was saying was correct . Obviously not the case.
