The bus from Newcastle to Edinburgh was delayed for 45 minutes and no communication was sent to that effect.i had to call the customer care service which it took awhile to be connected before I was informed.

I was impressed by how quickly the drivers got us onto the bus and luggage in the hold. Our seats were allocated and it was confirmed by the driver before we got on the bus. It was a smooth journey and I have no complaints. Except that I was in pain because I couldn't get comfortable as the lip of the seat was digging into my hamstring.
