Expressway Derry-Londonderry Letterkenny recent customer reviews

The bus arrived 20min late and said they would be departing for another 40 minutes. No reason or explanation. I had to make alternative arrangements as I would miss my next connection in Letterkenny. AVOID Expressway. Unreliable bus company with no respect for customers,
