A straightforward journey with no issues. Sometimes travellers are inconsiderate with talking loud on their mobiles and others listening to loud playing tv.

The driver is a legend. Just the most wholesome journey. I was running late and a bit fustrated but I got chatting to the driver from seat 4 and it felt like catching up with a mate. And he apologised for the delay(can’t help the traffic) Genuine top bloke give him a bonus
