Rude staff openly complaing at customers. Swearing and talking about sexual things all journey. Would not let me get off the bus early made me stay on to get the exact same bus back

Nice bus, but really stressful given it was an hour late. Missed my train at Liverpool Street.

While the basic service was satisfactory -- the bus left and arrived on time -- there were two major issues. Firstly, the wifi was not working so it was not possible to connect to the internet for the entire 8 1/2 hour journey. I mentioned this twice to different drivers; no action appeared to have been taken. In addition, by about 3 hours into the journey the toilet was blocked and unusable. Again, very unfortunate and unpleasant for passengers.
