Passengers have praised the bus service for its friendly and helpful drivers, comfortable seats, and WiFi availability. Despite some initial inconvenience due to private taxis occupying the bus stance, which required stopping on the road temporarily, drivers handled it well with apologies and ensured a smooth journey thereafter.

I booked a ticket from Birmingham airport to Oxford. There was nothing on the ticket or any information I received to say that the bus to Oxford would be going to Gatwick and would only show Gatwick as the destination. There was no information at the bus stop either to indicate the bus routes. Hence I missed my bus entirely and there was no later one that I could take.

There wasn’t any where for the coach to stop except on the road as private taxis were in the bus stance but the driver apologised and the rest of the journey went well
