Beacuse of late of the couch I am not happy. I sticked in London with kids after long day there, we were wet after the rain, tried and waiting for the bus one more hour was too much
Coach broke down twice. Second time on the M1 at 3am in heavy rain. It took 2 hours for any help to arrive as we waited in the poring rain. Driver was excellent considering the situation and some difficult people on the coach he kept us all safe.
It was ok. The Wi-Fi connection was terrible so I couldn't get things I planned to do on the journey done and I was unable to charge my phone. The coach was cold, no heating. So my this trip wasn't that great.
The lateness of an hour is really not expected of a company such as national express. If a train was an hour late, there would’ve been absolute news coverage.
It doesn’t make me confident to use the company again.
