The bus approximately 30 minutes late in leaving. The driver was unpleasant and did not think my online ticket purchase was genuine. I expected a direct route but we stopped at many points on the way.

When I booked this, given the price I wrongly assumed it was a direct route to Bath and not a normal bus service. The journey was advised as approximately 60 minutes and took almost 90 minutes, although I appreciate it is dependent on traffic.
