Despite the coach arriving 15mins late at Derby, due to traffic conditions on the way, the journey was excellent down to Birmingham. Getting out of Derby, down the motorway & into Birmingham were done quite efficiently. Smooth drive by driver & very good pickup & drop off locations. A service like this is what's needed when travelling between cities.
