The driver didn’t stop at Bridgend and there were 2 boys who needed to get off there, so had to get off at Port Talbot and make arrangements for someone to come and pick them up

Long delays due to traffic congestion. Another major gripe is that the WiFi system didn't work in both coaches, to and from Port Talbot.
