National Express Nottingham Milton Keynes recent customer reviews
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.

Absolutely terrible . Bus driver was nasty to me and my boyfriend . Spoke to us like rubbish . My boyfriend wasn’t happy with the way the driver spoke to us so as soon as he said something to the driver how he was towards us, the driver demanded us to get off the bus and that he wants going to take us . It was 1am and me and my boyfriend had no way of getting home as this was the last coach. I was extremely ill coming home as it was and I just wanted to come home but now I couldn’t because this driver chucked us off the bus . We begged him to let us on and he didn’t care .

My experience with National Express overall experience has been terrible. Every Coach I could have taken to get to Milton Keynes arrived at the station tardy by at least ten minutes and didn't bother to stop, simply looping through the collection bay and back outside and where they were going is frankly beyond me. I had to be collected by my father and was stranded at the station until half past eleven at night and I felt very unsafe for that entire duration as the station was virtually unstaffed save for two disinterested security guards.
