National Express User Reviews
National Express receives praise for its clean buses and helpful drivers, contributing to a generally pleasant journey. However, some users noted discomfort due to cramped seating with limited legroom. There were also mentions of delays in arrival times, although these were attributed to external factors like traffic rather than the company's fault.
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
