    Having been to Stansted recently everyone has their bays assigned.National Express , Flibco , First , Central Connect and Arriva .I think airports just use their business model on the bus station .You dont just fly in without a slot.

    Wales Bus Services

    I would not trust Transport for Wales to do a better job on the buses.Wales apart from the South and coastal north there are rural areas served by small operators.I can see most just giving up.

    Who to progress a complaint to?

    I get your frustration but in this weather i would give the driver leeway.Did you signal in time.These days with the mobile brigade you you pull up and no one raises their head .Spend time with a driver maybe you will see things different.
