National Express Bournemouth Gatwick recent customer reviews
My bus journey on National Express was very good the driver was nice and drove well, and the service was efficient and comfortable and on time. My only thing was I wasn't sure if it was better to get off at North or South Terminal, as wanted to get to Travelodge Central, & my mobile data had run out so I couldn't see a map or any info which terminal was better & easier to reach my destination from. Luckily a helpful passenger was going to the same place and helped me arrive safely at my destination. I disembarked at North terminal as this passenger knew it was easier from there.

Although I was appropriately dressed for the weather, I was feeling very cold on the coach as the air conditioner was turned on throughout the way. The same happened on the way back.
Sueli A.
This was a complete disaster. The ticket said Bournemouth to gatwick on the number 035. This bus doesn't actually go to gatwick, it goes to Victoria. At which point I had to change buses(not I did Ates on the ticket) and the next bus driver was refusing to let me on the bus. There were 2 other people on the bus, it wasn't busy. He did eventually let me on but the issues was the SHOCKING ticketing
