Your drivers were considerate and tried to be helpful however I am a 70 year old travelling alone from Australia and was faced with log delays from Heathrow that meant I missed my connection from Victoria station …..no one really seemed to know what was going on and eventually got to my destination in thetford in the early hours of the morning leaving me stranded in a foreign country ….it was very stressful

Very uncomfortable journey! Aircon was blasting Arctic air and there were no toilet breaks on a 4 hour journey!

It was Friday and traffic coming into London was severe as to be expected but overall the busses were a massive improvement from 8 years ago when I last traveled. Still great value and stress free.
