Bus left late but actually made up time and arrived 5 hours early - well done. Could do with a toilet on board for emergencies. Thanks

Very poor service. I booked this ticket for my mom who is an elderly woman. Since midnight, I here waiting to pick her up. So they give me a number to call for updates, phone just ring with no answer. Huge disappointment
