On my journey down to London gatwick 30th August this all went smoothly. However on my return journey 15th September this was non-existent. The journey to London Heathrow bus station was delayed due several roadworks on the m25. My connecting bus to Coventry was also delayed as the driver wasn't allowed in due to too many buses in the station!! The bus station was in chaos nobody took control it was like a cattle market, no organisation or control of the passengers waiting for buses. The announcer was not clear over the microphone so it was very difficult to understand what she was saying. Everyone was pushing and shoving to get to their reverent coach. One driver was so frustrated as people didn't give him chance to check their tickets and luggage before boarding the bus. Some people thought that they could take as much luggage as possible without having to pay for the extra cases!!
