Intercape Sleepliner Middelburg Welkom recent customer reviews

I booked a sleep liner so that I can relax and sleep comfortably on my sit but I couldn't get that, the passenger behind me had a knee injury so I couldn't take my sit down because it was hurting her and also the air conditioner was on the whole night I was so cold the whole trip. My suggestion is that people who have injuries should get front seat
