My bus from Coventry was half an hour late. There was no information about this at the station and when I spoke to a megabus employee, to try and establish if I was in the right place, they told me they couldn't help me and we're quite rude. It was actually another passenger who told me they had checked the coach tracker (which wasn't working for me at the time) and that the bus was late.
