We know Stratford quite well but really enjoyed the different view from the top of the bus and the commentary. I would say the route covers all the significant sights in the area and some things and places that we didn't know about were highlighted in the commentary. The drivers were friendly and drove well. I booked the tickets online while we were at the bus stop because we didn't go to the main stop - this was very easy, except for not recognising the name Headout when my card security messaged me. It might have said something on the website about this but I didn't see it. The general mobile website isn't the best: the route pictures come up very small and I have to go to a different page to find the times for each stop. In an ideal world the map would be full size with the approximate minutes past the hour in the key.

Ticketing via internet and use of app was very user friendly. The best part of the experience were the bus drivers. They answered all my questions and went above and beyond to make sure I got to where I was going. I even had one driver come get me on the top when I didn't realize we were at the stop I wanted. Great customer service and a good tour of the city.
