Clean, comfortable, polite personnel who were happy to help (referring to the driver). Also on time.

I was disappointed when my bus scheduled to leave LGW at 3:15 didn’t leave until 3:50. The staff weren’t very helpful and I was worried it wouldn’t show at all. I think the staff need to have better knowledge on bus times and when busses are scheduled to arrive, so they can therefore reassure and advise customers efficiently.
