National Express Leicester Gatwick recent customer reviews

The staff are friendly but the bus was terrible re heat as the aircon was not working and no windows available. My son and I had the worst 4hr journey home from Gatwick to Leicester. With the only option to wait for another bus after a 10 hour plane journey.
