The driver I met at Aberdeen was helpful friendly and knowledge of the process. I am 72 and have not been in a bus for many many years. I was amazed with the technology the lighting the quiet coach and the onboard toilet pure and utter decadence for a bladder thar had undergone a procedure in the hospital a few hours before.
