Good steady drivers. Nothing to not enjoy. Very pleasant experience.
The driver that picked up from Manchester airport was very rude and shouting at the passengers and as he was driving he was ranting at other motorists on the motorway and at one point had a near miss..but the other drivers after that were pleasant and helpful
