Hi there I travel at night so that I can sleep. The seating is very uncomfortable and too little leg room for tall people. I enjoyed the friendly efficient staff.

The staff was extremely rude and unhelpful. People were sleeping over 2 seats and others had to stand. Staff just said they can't do anything about it. Will never use them again
