A very enjoyable journey, with very curteou staff. The only misgiving is the cold. A little bit of heating halfway through would have been very welcome. All in all, 5 stars. Keep it up. Ps. The handrail in the bathroom needs replacement

Comfortable, but the driver advised that I should get off at Cape Town Bus Station instead of Bellville. My son had to drive to get me in Cape Town which was quite inconvenient.
