The Flixbus journey from London Heathrow to Manchester was well organised and very punctual. The bus driver was friendly and the power sockets on board made the journey much easier. The seats were comfortable, if a little cramped and the bus was clean, although the floor could be cleaned more thoroughly. Overall, good value for money and a recommended option for longer journeys.
