Excellent service. The driver was second to none and very cheerful, he did indeed go ‘the extra mile’

The bis was late by 15 to 20 minutes but to be fair there was also a train strike that is being taken into consideration also. So 15 to 20 mins late consideration the situation is not bad at all
Danielle H.
The directions were misleading. It says the stop is near Hove street so I was at the one closest to this street but it wasn’t the right one and I missed the bus for the reason.
