First time using this service. Was stress free and will use again.
Happy with the staff and will definitely use your services again.
Friendly drivers and comfy journey. Roadworks so no problems with delay
got to Liverpool late, went to customer service office explained I had a different departure address for my return journey to Leeds and the lady behind the desk told me the coach I needed departed from the same stand as I alighted from got to the stand at 18.20 for a 18.45 departure coach arrived at 19.10 and informed by driver I was in the wrong place but he let me on the bus which departed at 19.20 and arrived back in Leeds at 22.35 impressed? absolutely not
No contact details to phone, bus driver appeared to think he was only 5 min late!! and location of bus stop in Oxford was not clear as we would have missed bus but for the help of other bus drivers. Staff at Oxford did not know either.
Excellent. Only late in arriving at Gatwick because of roadworks and rush hour traffic
Driver was amazing, comfortable bus, nice and cosy with heating when was cold outside.
The service is good just a couple of issues. 1. The bus arrived with the destination as Swansea and no indication it was going to Cardiff. If we had not asked the driver we may still be waiting. 2. When passengers used the toilet there was a fowl smell throughout the bus.
Very comfortable coach. Clean, spacious and obliging driver.
We are arrived later because we have done an accident on the highway.
Coach late due to weather conditions. Driver genuinely pleasant, ambassador of the company. Made up time without making journey risky nor uncomfortable. Helpful at destination with instant informed knowledgeable answer to my question te return journey. Return journey was excellent. Great value for money transport option. Will use National Express in the future
