Wouldn't travel this way again. I felt the seats were narrow and cramped. I was very uncomfortable.

The journey was about an hour quicker than it estimated as we did the 11:30 pm departure time. This gave us a slight issue as we didn’t have accommodation overnight… snacks, water and blankets were provided for the journey!
