National Express London Maidstone recent customer reviews
The coach was late and then the driver said he couldn't Identify my ticket. My friend and I were first at the stop, then last allowed on as he made me wait while he let everyone else on then phoned his manager who confirmed my ticket was valid. He said nothing to me,just pointed to say get on.It was not a good experience at all.

There was no information or signposting about National Express services at Stratford and no staff to ask. The bus stopped at a different stop to the one on the ticket information. Very poor customer experience at Stratford bus station.

Really friendly driver, punctual departure. Traffic meant we were a bit late into Maidstone but overall a really pleasant bus journey. The bus itself did not lurch like some coaches, which meant I did not get motion sickness.
