Great leg room between the seats. Very clean and tidy. Driver was friendly and helped people with their suitcases. Only problem was that non of the usb charger points worked at the seat area.
the bus driver was very nice with me and we arrived on time. Everything was perfect
The best part was the young man at the ticket booth at Dublin Airport. Very conscientious. Already had my online ticket and had to wait 1-3/4 hrs for next coach. He made sure I got on the right coach and for that I am grateful.

Both the 20:00 and 21:00 bus didn't even stop at the pickup point. Myself and the other passengers had to wait for the 22:00 bus who did stop. This was quite disappointing.
