Megabus refund?
We were supposed to be going to London today to see an exhibition at the British Museum. We waited 1/2 hour for the Megabus to turn up but got fed up of waiting in the rain and went home. What are the chances of getting a refund? It was only £12 but disappointing to miss our day out.
