very convenient to the South Hampton cruise terminal. Waiting area was a bit small but the drive was pleasant.

I moved it an hour early & paid almost as much as the original ticket just seemed inflated to me. The journey was fine.

The driver was friendly and got everyone on the bus in an orderly fashion ie. no pushing and shoving. We were assigned a seat which was good. The drive was good no issues.

Unfortunately I was at the bus stop across the road from where the bus stopped. I went to the exact address on the ticket - 239 Burgess rd and the actual pickup was not at that point. I was waiting for the bus from 1545 and it passed me at 1723. I then had to take a taxi hire to Heathrow. Very stressful.
