Great coach service - poor app

I was initially confused by the journey planner in the app, which is badly implemented. I had tried searching for a journey a dozen times. I’ve tried and retried. Oxford to London Victoria Coach station. I’ve tried entering post codes or allowing it to use my location. Each time “No routes found”.

Once you know it works only with the station names, the planner works ok - but this is counter-intuitive - given that the app lets you search using your current location.

Once you’ve got past the app and are on the coach itself, the service is very impressive indeed!

completely unusable

impossible to make any purchases, never goes through

Do not rely on any time

Bus gps are not reliable, 2 out of 3 times buses don’t show up

Wrong information and delays

The app states bus stop M at Notting Hill Gate but its bus stop N.

And there are delays meaning my ticket is expiring.

Can’t buy Over 60s ticket

The Over 60s ticket option is difficult to find and even when you do manage to select it, the app charges the full fare. It’s a scam!
