National Express User Reviews
National Express is appreciated for its punctuality and friendly drivers, providing great value for money. However, some users faced issues with unclear departure information and uncomfortable seating on certain coaches. There were also concerns about crowded boarding conditions at Southampton and communication challenges during delays or route changes.
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

The trip from Heathrow airport to Southampton was fine as was the driver. The issue was the people pushing and shoving, trying to be first on and not being careful of those around them. At the arrival in Southampton, there was very little space between the bus and the fence, making it very difficult for people to get their luggage with everybody again pushing and shoving. There was very little room to walk and pull a suitcase between the people lined up to get onto the bus.

The bus was very late and arrived work very late. Had to pay for an Uber to work more money I didn't plan to use.

I didn't make my 11 o'clock journey as I couldn't see it on the board even though I was on time to catch the coach and there was no one on the enquiry desk to talk to find out which gate I should be on. I thought the coach was direct to Whitstable but when I eventually spoke to the information guy he was extremely helpful
