12 May 2024- Vacation

Glasgow to Edinburgh

Pros: The trip was actually operated by the Citylink bus. Everything was perfect, especially the staff and driver who are very flexible to allow us to take an earlier bus instead of waiting for our originally scheduled one due to our earlier arrival at the bus station. Cons: Keep doing the excellent work!
