£40 for 2 people return seems wrong
surely it's got to be a bit shit, do you just turn up and get on it.

yeah, you get a code and you just show the driver that code
on the mega bus its only a quid fifty to london from cardiff

It's ok.
Better than National Express.

Yeah.
The coaches are actually pretty good. Tend to be quite new with decent air conditioning. Plus the seats aren't made of fake leather that sticks to you like on National Express.

National express:
Make tickets that you pretty much print immediately or lose, or
Make you queue for ages to collect your ticket while you miss your coach
Overbook the coach and bring along another shit one for the overflow,
Direct the overflow bus to miss stops, including yours
Put a seat right next to the toilet, usually the only one left
Promise on-coach wi-fi that simply doesn't exist
...and worst of all instruct their drivers to perform the same comedy banter at every stop until you want to run up and thwack them around the head with the free water bottle they don't even give you any more.

And just to add insult to injury, the average speed per journey is about 18mph.

It's brilliant.
I used to get the megabus from Manc to London quite often. Cost me £4 return. Loved it.
