Eagle Liner Colesberg Johannesburg recent customer reviews

It arrived slightly late and left a lot later than expected. The arrival at my destination was incredibly late (almost an hour later). My seat couldn't recline back so I slept uncomfortably. And, the passengers behind me were pushing into my chair most of the time. I'm just glad I arrived but that's about it. The standard of this liner is below par. It was my first time using it and it will be my last. I'll stick to Intercape and Citiliner Plus.
