National Express Bristol Gatwick recent customer reviews
dissatisfied with no wifi on the bus. also the seats are tiny ( I am 5' 9" and 140 pounds so a little over average height, and of average weight).
Fern E.
Bus left and arrived on time as promised, there was an inconvenience with two unclaimed suitcases which didn’t allow the driver to keep going with the trip. At the end they was someone who had skipped their stop for whatever reason, maybe the driver couldve been through all the seats to make sure?
Andrea V.
Shane was a safe and humorous driver. He made the ride very comfortable and pleasant.
