Used this service a few time now. Always satisfied, stress free. I personally find it a lot easier than the train. Drivers always professional also cracked a few jokes. I understand why he's bus driving and not on stage but appreciated the effort.

Comfortable bus, equipped with comfortable seats with legroom, USB ports, and fold-down tables for writing or resting a book. Excellent internal climate control. We had more stops than expected: perhaps this should be specified because I don't remember seeing a list. However, it was convenient for me because I got off one stop earlier than planned: at Victoria train station instead of the terminus, Victoria coach station. Travel times are slightly longer than those with the Stansted Express, and this should perhaps be rewarded with an even lower ticket price. It's a shame you can't buy a return ticket. We'll see how the return journey goes, as I don't yet know if it will be possible to take the coach from a stop that is more convenient for me.
