The worst bus service ever came 2 and a half hour late. The bus was cold slow and kept on stopping at every garage

Delta coaches didn’t show up. We waited over 12 hours from 11pm to 12:00 the next day. Even workers at the station said sometimes they come, and most times the buses don’t arrive. Don’t book that bus or book at your own risk.
