Yorkshire Coastliner York London recent customer reviews

I liked it a lot. The bus from Leeds to London was super comfortable. The only problem was that I was supposed to arrive at the bus in Leeds half an hour early and there was no bus. It arrived only five minutes early and was a city bus. Had I known I would have slept later.
