National Express London Heathrow recent customer reviews

Nous n’avons pas pu être transporté car une personne sans billet est montée dans le bus. Ils ont donc décidé de faire descendre tout le monde (30 personnes environ) pour changer de bus mais la personne sans billet a bloqué le bus à nouveau. Nous sommes restés bloqués pendant 45 min dans la station et avons dû nous débrouiller par nos propres moyens pour arriver à l’aéroport. Certains ont commandé un taxi, d’autres uber etc. Aucune solution n’a été proposée alors que des gens risquaient de rater leur avion. Très déçue, je ne recommande pas!
