National Express Luton Milton Keynes recent customer reviews

We didn’t take the trip because there was a big accident on the M1 but they told us they would divert routes and we would be put on the next available. An hour later the coaches came and went and no one updated us. Eventually we all decided to get the bus. Which we should have done in the first place as it was only £2 a person!
