National Express Heathrow Birmingham recent customer reviews

My experience was great, everything went like clock works. First coach on time (5mins out ). But got to the first point in time to locate second coach pick up point. Second coach as like the first, on time, clean, drivers had clear instructions, arrived at my destination with time to spare, Great Job.

The journey was excellent, with delightful drivers both ways but the man on the desk at Heathrow was less than helpful and about him we feel the need to make a complaint so that our treatment and that of two other couples around a similar time can be investigated.

The trip took longer and I arrived 1hour late. Instead of 00:25, I arrived 1:30. I missed the person picking me and had to taxi to my home. The driver was really nice though.
