I am appalled by the service i recieved. The bus was not only nearly 3 hours late but also made no attempt to contact us to inform us of the hold up. Once finally on board i found no free double seats for myself and my two year old daughter to be able to sit together and had to complain to finally get a seat cleared. The bus was unhygenic and had a terrible smell to it. I will not be using this service again and will make sure to warn others against it.
