The ride was incredibly bumpy and noisy. The pick up area was also quite uncomfortable. Our bus left at 1:30 am, and there was no seating area, limited lighting, and little information about bus arrival.

Extremely punctual and staf organised the commuters well to at the respective terminals before going down the Lines to board the train. The driver to Boston today, 11.7.22 on our 6.50am train was very engaging in his announcements and a chirpy guy.
