Annoying that I couldn't book an upstairs bunk on line.

Was a bit tricky to find the booth to get the tickets. The booth was actually inside the main building, level 1. Converted our online booking to paper tickets. There are a few stalls and food options depending on what time. A bit tricky to find the right bus, we were on 56 which is around the back/side. Once on board, we were given some light snacks, water, blankets ane a pillow. They stopped quiet a few times along the way to pick up mail etc but didn't bother me. The chairs reclined and it was alot easier to sleep on than a plane. Was woken up at 1am ish for a 20 minute break where we could use the bahtroom and have a smoke. Overall good experience and would do it again for the amount you save vs flying.
