Avanti West Coast Edinburgh Milton Keynes recent customer reviews
The ride was okay but some passages were rude using racist slots and using electronic cigarettes
Henson Oziegbe J.
Not impressed, Worker Fiona Was quite rude and shrugged shoulders at us struggling with wheelchair, Disabled child and bags. Told us we should be extremely thankful one of their customers gave up the wheelchair spot they had their stroller in, for our wheelchair. Funny I thought anyone buying a ticket was a customer 🤔 cold and rude she was.
