The fact that there was no knowledgeable members of staff or announcements was the reason i spent two hours waiting for a coach that had left ,, the board showed that the 19.25 to manchester was expected to arrive at 19.51.i had arrived in leeds from Sheffield at 18.00 knowing i had to wait till 19.30 i waited in the departure area at around 19.55 ish i was beginning to worry i asked the brilliant driver of the 171 if any coaches were cancelled ,he said all were running, shown he my ticket ,he informed me that my coach had in fact left at 19.30,ad that i should try contact cucstomer services to amend my ticket or worse case buy another ticket for the 20.20 to manchester ,i couldnt get through to customer services despite 10 mins of trying .i reluctantly bought another ticket i reached the set iff point ,to find the staffof the 171 had spoken to the driver of the 20.20 coach who would have allowed me to travel on my old ticket,so i was two hours late and an extra 11.79 down .the staff that i spoke too were brilliant and helpfull but having wrong times on the board and noone to speak too to confirm or allay worries in leeds made this as costly as the train and a lot longer travelling

I was in the right place approximately 10-15 min before but that doesn't matter because bus was 15 min later. I saw the number on the bus so that was 100% my bus (1:05pm bus NR 550 Liverpool-Bristol 30/11/24). I don't know what's happened but anyway the crew should know that there is the passenger somewhere waiting for them. So I lost £30 because of somebody and I couldn't return them. Awful service I'll NEVER use it again.
