My experience was terrible. I turned up at Bristol bus station to catch the 05.50 to Heathrow only to find it was delayed until 07.20. Leaving at 07.20 would have resulted in a missed flight and so I had to go home to get the care and drive to Heathrow

The driver was very polite and helpful. It was comfortable. The only bad part was no plug points for my laptop so I couldn’t do my work.

The scheduled M43 bus never arrived in bristol at the designated stop and left a whole bus load of ticketed passengers stranded that were all headed to Heathrow. We waited over an hour hoping it was just late. A real disaster.

It was very good, but delayed by an hour. No-one’s fault, but without a v helpful driver who communicated with the sad looking group we wouldn’t have known anything . A system for comms other than hit or miss depending on driver would have been v helpful and imbued us with confidence!
