We had a euro coaches replacement coach 23.45 7 July, Heathrow to Bristol, the whole coach absolutely stank of human faeces it was worse than sitting in the middle of a sewage farm for 2 hours, everyone sat with jumpers tied over their faces to try and block out the smell of the toilet, don't understand how anyone could turn up to provide a service in that condition, seriously has put us off using flixbus ever again.
