I didn’t enjoy the 1:30 hours delay after 20min of traveling. I didn’t enjoy the staff not communicating what was the issue. I did not enjoy missing my flight

Wrong stop given on ticket. Stop is G not H. Ushered to run over by first driver who was sick. Nicer than the second guy who got on at Northampton. 5am in the morning all passengers sleeping and he is calling someone on loudspeaker. Totally unprofessional.
