The journey from Edinburgh to Glasgow was very good. We travelled just over 1 hour. The bus was great as always and there was nothing to complain about. Hygiene was maintained and there was a toilet. The bus also arrived on time and we were there on time. There was wifi and power sockets on board that you could use. The value for money was very good. The seats are a bit cramped, but perfectly okay for the journey. As it was early in the morning, it was very quiet on the bus.
