I haven't been on the GNE coaches so can't comment directly but it's more about the seats and suspension. When your on for hours buses are awful. The Civic 3's just aren't great for longer journeys and buses nowadays have a harder suspension in general. Can't comment on the air con either depends on the coach that really. Coaches are generally quieter aswell especially if you have to have windows open on fast roads. 

Now if it was a Volvo Olympian with coach seats like the Northumbria batch that used to do the Seahouses runs it's a different question.
