The trip was fine, only thing that made the second leg of the journey from Leeds to Bermingham totally unbearable was a group of Indians that keep talking and laughing at the top of their voices for the entire length of the trip. Unfortunately I had a low battery and couldn't just out their noise with my ear buds. Both drivers were Indians too and they just allowed it, I feel they should have cautioned them. I couldn't be happier when I finally got off!
