Could I confirm that if I bring my motorbike gubbins with me (helmet, jacket, boots, etc) that we can leave them on the coach during the day? Sorry for the lateness of this question. _______________ Electric bikes are great. They give ordinary people the chance to know what it feels like to be me.

Glad you all had a great day. I have however been on to the bus company today expressing my disappointment at the standard of the coach and my intention to seek compensation, as they failed to provide the service paid for. If you could let me know what else in particular was sub standard it will strengthen our case.  _______________ Pain is only temporary - Quitting is for ever ........ Lance Amstrong

Great trip Mart!, shame you had to miss it, but I don't think you would have survived the bus journey,
cramped seating would be an understatement. Seemed as if they had done away with the ashtrays and moved the seats closer together,never mind me and me kid enjoyed all the same.Get well soon!.

We need the feedback so that we can correspond with the coach company . . . . . . .
Any more constructive observations / criticisms about the coach and journey ?

Ok Chips:
1. Bus late. 15mins in the morning, 45mins in the afternoon
2. Bus dirty - ashtrays not cleaned, judging by the 1,000 yard stare of people who went to the toilet, neither was the WC
3. Filling up the tank after stopping in the services, surely should have been done before the journey started?
4. Cramped bus, (although don't know exactly what the specification of the bus was that we had booked)
5. Miserable driver! _______________ The Force is strong in this one...

Don,t know what the spec is for seating on any coach, but most people who were sat in the isle seats on saturday had their legs in the isle in the attempt to gleen some relief from cramp and for what felt like the onset of D.V.T!

Trust me, I was sitting in the back seat of the bus, right next to the toilet and the smell was disgusting. It was worse than Geraint's farts!!
