I get to the station in time and they moved the platform of the bus, until I find it out the bus just leave without me and I had to buy another ticket, I was very disappointed and nobody even tried to help me...

It was very cold and we wanted to be able to adjust the footstand because we kept sliding down, but otherwise we had a very nice 25h trip

Check in and ticketing was easy and great. The first 12 hours or so we only had one long stop, then I fell asleep and we had a coffee break in the morning. Maybe I just misunderstood something
