The bus was quite comfy with good leg room. Should be kept that way. It’s necessary for customers to have a good leg room over a long journey

Bus broke down and it was a 3 hour wait at Preston while we waited for another bus. Driver was lovely and it wasn't really anyone's fault. 1* rating is because I'm tired and grumpy as it's nearly 11pm and I'm still not at my destination.
