The bus was late leaving Digbeth Birmingham by roughly 40 minutes no excuse was given then by the time it got into Plymouth it was roughly 20 minutes late but apart from this the journey was a relaxing one apart from being thrown around in the toilet. All this would not stop me traveling again by National Express Coaches as the journey up was on time.
