Very good but was running ten minutes late. it was cold but tolerable at first half of journey then too warm making me ill in the second half it was a 6-hour journey. comfortable seats. Very short break stop of just under 15 minutes in Leeds to get refreshments, toilet breaks etc. a little less rushed would be nice. But for the price it is fantastic.
