I didn't find the bus (Freshbrook blagrove West roundabout). It's a very very bad feeling to Mega Bus A big shock happened to me today I lost my ticket.. And I did not travel on my appointment because I did not find the specific station in the ticket .. With all sadness and regret it was a very cruel and bitter experience
