National Express York Sheffield recent customer reviews

The trip was from York to Sheffield changing coach at Leeds. The first leg went well leaving York just a few minutes late but with a 40 minute change at Leeds there was no problem. At Leeds we found our coach to Sheffield was going to be 2 hours 10 minutes late and all other schedules were fully booked. As a result we abandoned the coach option and took local buses to Wakefield, then Barnsley, then Sheffield.
