The driver was very efficient. He stopped someone who was having a very loud telephone conversation and he changed route to avoid a big delay on the normal route. Comfortable ride and on time.

Delays can happen due to road accidents but I would expect NE to have a back up plan / alternative bus available to cover for thede eventualities. Being close to 2 hours late causes the travellers major disruptions. Therefore I would expect NE to offer at least compensation or at least a substantial refuds.
