Overall the experience was great, I feel like there should be a screen on the inside showing the route and ETA, would help a lot especially for people not familiar with the areas

Would like earlier services from Dublin airport to athlone. My flight arrived at 4.45am and i had to wait until 7am for the first bus. The bus was also too hot. However i am glad there is a route to athlone without too many stops which is good.

Third week in a row. First 2 weeks were great. Robert was courteous but very professional including reminding everyone to fasten seat belts. Today a different driver and no seat belt message and we even had to crawl into the hold (halfway in, banging my head also) to get our own bags off Not ideal.
