The overall service is described as comfortable and relaxing, with clear and reassuring booking information. Users appreciated the helpfulness of the drivers. However, there were mentions of delays and extended time spent at different pickup locations in some reviews.
The trip was fine, only thing that made the second leg of the journey from Leeds to Bermingham totally unbearable was a group of Indians that keep talking and laughing at the top of their voices for the entire length of the trip. Unfortunately I had a low battery and couldn't just out their noise with my ear buds. Both drivers were Indians too and they just allowed it, I feel they should have cautioned them. I couldn't be happier when I finally got off!
