I travelled from Stansted at 2 pm on the 9. Feb in a howling gale. The roads were awful. The bus had to reroute several times down country roads due to accidents on the motorway and also got stuck by a tree on the road. The driver tackled each problem as they arose, never stressing and remaining cheery, kind and helpful throughout. He - and his safe driving through that weather - was marvelous and got us safely to Oxford!

The latenesses was expected on a Friday night when the road was closed in places.
