My problem was that I booked 2 AM Bus Instead of the 13.00 pm bus so I had to get a taxi to Stansted.

The bus was late - confused passengers were asking for information but there was none. No-one knew if/when the bus was to arrive at Stanstead. I asked numerous "employees" but they all said they didn't work for Nat. Express. It was a shocking display of incompetence.
