We arrived with 40 minutes delay as we supposed to arrive Swansea at 4.45 but we arrived at 5.25 pm.

It was relaxing pretty chilled but the coaches could do with bigger grids for the air-conditioning

Booking and travel went smoothly. Comfortable seats and USB-ports. Just the delay of more than an hour (mainly due to construction work on highway) was a bit annoying.
