We left on time and we arrived on time. We also had a toilette on board that was actually available.

Bus broke down on the motorway halfway there! We had to sit inside without air conditioning for an hour waiting for another bus to pick us up. The bus was old and dirty so it's hardly surprising it broke down. We arrived two hours after we were supposed to. Worse trip ever, wish I had taken the train!
