National Express Heathrow Stansted recent customer reviews
It was not really easy to find the entry to the Central bus station from terminal 3, especially when running behind.
Antonina C.
Bus arrived 15 minutes past estimated time of departure, the bus driver was joking around and being real nice with passengers, but some of us had a flight to catch. I missed my flight and it’s now costing me over £150 for a extra night in the UK + new ryanair ticket £158 total.
Mylène W.
It was my first time taking the trip with National Express overall was a such nice experience. Well a quite bit of smile from the bus driver at the morning when receiving the passengers on board would make everyone's day wonderful!
