I left my luggage on the coach but very difficult to speak to anyone to get it back. I have filled in forms as requested but I have not heard back. My wallet is in that bag!

Service was courteous and comfortable both ways. Everything was bang on time departing and arriving. First time on Flix so quite impressed and will definitely use this service again. Only thing I would recommend is taking a little time to clean the fold up tables for hygiene purposes- can be really off putting for squirmish people like myself- lol. then it would be absolutely perfect 😆
