Generally very good. The bus arrived on time, but the new driver arrived 10 minutes late. However he made up time and we arribed at our destination on time.

The driver was wonderful. Everything went perfectly, even though the london marathon was on. Only suggestion i have is to put that bus number on the signage at the stops in Cambridge. The # 10 to Victoria was listed, but not ours.
