Bus stop a long way out of town, it wasn't made clear upon booking otherwise we'd have booked the option from the port. The bus was also very dirty with graffiti on the seats, litter on the floor and filthy upholstery.

Good journey but after queuing for 30 minutes was told bus was full. We had prebooked tickets and people pushed ahead and paid for tickets. We managed to get separate seats after pointing out people occupied 2 seats.
