The price is very good, and almost all of the drivers have been very friendly, considerate, and drive very well. They always arrive and leave on time. This is despite problems on the road that are beyond their control. I strongly reccommend them.

My phone stopped working on the bus to Peterborough I went for the bus that I was getting to go to Golders green to ask if there was any way I could get on the bus as I couldn't access my ticket which was on the phone. The driver wasn't too bothered and just said only if I knew my ticket number. Which of course I didn't. I had no choice but to miss the bus and wait for 02 to open to speak to them. I have proof now that my phone has been sent for repair. Instead I had to pay £18 for a train so I could get to my destination on time. I would say it was obvious I was in distress and was nearly crying when I spoke with the driver but he was too interested in finishing his conversation with another member of staff.
