Megabus Birmingham Manchester recent customer reviews
Bus was delayed, wasn’t even the official mega bus, randomly stopped at service stations even after running late. Was hot. Crammed. Bus inside was not the best a little rough and crammed

The bus was delayed by more than than 2 hour, so I lost my chance to get my flight from manchester airport.

Dafaalla M.
I enjoyed my experience, the driver was very courteous and provided the information I needed. The ride was also on time which I truly appreciate, the only down side is that all of the USB charging ports weren't working for me to charge my phone. I'm a visitor from Barbados and need my phone to be able to navigate the country. Outside of that I am very pleased
