I am not at all satisfied because I didn't travel. The bus left from another platform and noone informed us about the change so we missed the bus.

We booked an 11.30am bus as we needed to be in Lyon for a 3pm appointment. We were then advised in less than 24hours that our bus would now depart at 13.45pm. No reason given why. Very disappointed
