I along with one of my friend showed the ticket to the bus driver but the bus was wrong bus but he didnt say anything . We were going to cardiff but we was placed in a return bus to London. I missed my class and had to buy a new ticket to Cardiff. And I was in a hurry to catch the next days class so I didnt complain to anyone. I am a new student here but It was completely the drivers fault. If he checked the ticket clearly it would never happen.

Every thing was fine till we reached the Cardiff railway station stop. There was a scheduled driver switch, but the reliever was not there. We had to stay put at this point for 20 minutes till the next driver came. Finally reached our Cardiff destination 30 minutes late.

Trip was 45 min late and dropped off at a bus stop with no directions to station or cafe - bus lane tricky to order an Uber
Passengers generally appreciate the attentive and friendly staff, as well as the punctuality and safe driving. However, several reviews mention issues such as inadequate air conditioning during a heatwave, lack of Wi-Fi connectivity despite being available on board, cleanliness concerns with rubbish left from previous trips, unpleasant odors in some buses, and non-functional toilets.
