I am hearing impaired and was well looked after making sure I got on the right coach, etc.

Very disappointed. The coach did not show up and I was not sent an email and could not easily find this information online. I tried to call the National Express but they do not have a 24/7 phone line, and did not answer my online enquiry for over two and a half hours, and then only to tell me they had no information.
