Emma BDriver was very rude, didn’t stop for proper breaks and when stopped for toilet kept beeping the horn and saying hurry up else he will just lock the door and go and at one point half closed the door and went to leave, wasn’t sure where the stop was but luckily other passengers helped, really poor experience with this company, chairs a lot smaller that others I have traveled on. Wouldn’t recommend. Also an hour late but no communication
