National Express Leeds Birmingham recent customer reviews

The getting on and off at the stations was very smooth but the only problem in total was diversion due to road closures that couldn’t be helped which made the journey an extra hour and 15 minutes longer

Impressive! There is no adverse comments. Departure was on time arrival was on time. The driver was nice and communicative. No regrets.

The driver left the terminus 5 minutes early and he was not even bothered to stop after a few people who were suppose to be on that bus were left behind. National express should be on top of their game, so I thought but it turns out to be very dissapointing. Thanks to your professional customer service for picking up the peaces and granting us train tickets.
