National Express User Reviews
National Express receives praise for its punctuality and friendly drivers, as noted by several users. However, there are mentions of occasional delays and concerns about the comfort of seats on longer journeys. Additionally, some reviews highlight issues with non-functional USB ports during trips.
Very good and the drivers were very helpful with your luggage 🧳 and letting me go to the bus station swindon,instead of queens drive ,as I would of meant me getting 2 buses instead of 1.Also like to thank the ticket information downstairs at stanstead for letting get an earlier coach, as it cut 2 hours of my intented journey many thanks Mr Lawrence kirby

First two drivers who picked up from Falmouth very nice. The team who took over at Plymouth bossy and officious not a nice manner particularly the female driver she barked instructions at passengers not nice (she told a passenger off because he nearly missed getting off at Heathrow) and they didn’t even have the courtesy to announce that we would be arriving 10 minutes late ( I had a taxi booked) . Normally I am happy with the service on national express but not this time
Katie G.
Horrible inexcusable service. Delayed for more than an hour and the tracking was a joke. No bus at the end had to leave
