Very comfortable and spacious seats. Noisy cabin and above all loud and very uncomfortable air conditioning in very cold weather. Very bad journey.

We booked the 11:59, and when we were arrived we were told it hadn't arrived yet. We continued to ask for the next 3 hours and noone had any information. Eventually they told us there wouldn't be another bus until 7am. We then got on the 7am bus and the driver stopped every 15 minutes, meaning the journey took about twice as long as it's supposed to.

Quick journey which was great. Good facilities too - spacious, wifi and toilet all really appreciated. But it was so cold I couldn’t believe it. Overnight bus and I was behind freezing with a long sleeve thermal t-shirt. I was in shorts, but still with 20/25 degree heat outside I couldn’t believe how cold it was. What a shame!
