Bus was late. Lights stayed on inside bright. Squeaking constantly. Seats not even remotely comfortable.

The bus was not clean and smelt of food left in seat pockets.
However, on time and good journey.

The trip went well. The coach arrived at Sydney airport on time. The only negative was the sound system. It was difficult hearing the driver on the Melbourne Canberra journey.
