The bus was fine. But finding the bus wasnt. On the ticket it had the national express symbol and said bus stop 9. At bus stop 9 there were no signs. We saw one sign that said national express busses were at the central bus station 10 minutes away, so we walked there. But then we are told it was back where we were but rail air bus stop 11/12. So we walked back to the other bus stop, and 100m away was indeed the correct place. All this for not putting the correct bus stop on the ticket.
