Booked a bus for Thursday morning turned up and driver wouldn’t let me On saying that my bus was for Wednesday and was very rude towards me
Jordan V.
I wasn't looking forward to the 8 hr journey in the bus but the facilities were excellent. I had a comfortable single seat with a socket to charge appliances and a small screen with several films, games, music and Internet installed to keep me entertained. The driver was excellent and we arrived spot on the allocated arrival time. My one issue was that WiFi was advertised and didn't work. The driver said that he was never able to use it. These days having WiFi is essential rather than using data for such a long journey.

Excellent, easy and safe way of travelling . Plenty of toilet stops on a 9 hour journey.
