National Express Brighton Stansted recent customer reviews
The bus was over an hour late, making me miss my connection and therefore my flight aswell. The busdriver didn’t want to help me. I tried to ask him questions on how I could possible help myself and he just answered “I don’t know” and started smoking instead. I understand things go wrong sometimes, but please be passionate about helping others out
