National Express Manchester London recent customer reviews
best part: bus’s was on time, worst part: toilet is not a very good idea in the bus.
My coach was half an hour delayed to start with. The time of arrival at London Victoria was at 4 pm. We arrived an hour late. Also, it was too cold inside the coach which is always a problem with National Express coaches.
The trip was not on schedule, both departure and arrival (almost 1 hr late). The coach was stuffy throughout the 5 hr ride, very uncomfortable.
According to customer reviews, there are mixed opinions about the bus service. Some customers appreciate that their buses arrived early and find the comfort level satisfactory.

Booked a bus that was supposed to arrive at final destination at 12pm. It arrived after 2 pm and I nearly missed my Buckingham palace tour.
Very bad as the bus get delayed for 120 mins and we have to wait in the bus and the staff in bus was rude to everyone
Great once the bus arrived ( no signage at Manchester bus station, telling us of the arrival time ) bus was a little late. Journey was excellent quick and efficient. Sitting near the Loo - slight urine smell.
