I felt sorry for the driver who had to deal with a rude wheel chair customer with a wheel chair that couldn’t be put on the bus which delayed our departure for nearly half an hour. The driver drove well considering it must have been a stressful start to the journey!

Very impressed with punctuality but regarding the previous comment about sick on the floor- It would be better to have an emergency cleaner to deal with it there and then
