Safe Journey, predictable and trustworthy! The bus followed the time schedule without me being afraid of cancellations in the last minute that would affect my next flight.

Very good service on the whole. It takes ages to get to London though, 2 hours from Totnes to Exeter seems a lot.

Unfortunately the bus wouldn't start, which was why it was late arriving, but the driver and his companion were apologetic. Seats were comfortable though a little dilapidated. Delighted to find wifi, there was a socket within reach of where I sat though not for all customers. The toilet was clean though fittings well worn. I paid £12 for my journey from Devon to London so all in all I felt exceptional value for money.
