Coach very comfortable and clean but journey time to Victoria too long didn’t realise there were so many stops on route

Good afternoon. I purchased two round trip tickets to Brighton on the same day. Spend my time at the beach with my wife. Departure from London was postponed by 1 hour and the road was delayed by 30 minutes. Because of this, we spent less time at sea than we were upset.
