I enjoyed the comfort in the bus. To my consternation, the driver did not make the WiFi available despite requesting him to help switch it on

The bus left Swansea in the dot of 3.39 as a young man banged the door to be let on and the driver ignored him and pulled off leaving the guy at the stop!! The drivers changed at Cardiff and the new driver forgot to stop at Newport and had to go back! I was more bothered by the first driver leaving someone at Swansea station!
