Customers are satisfied with the service, mentioning that the drivers arrived early. Some customers suggest having a pick-up bus stand in Kettering to avoid passing it while going to London. Overall, it was an awesome experience and they would use National Express again.

National Express Leicester Stansted recent customer reviews

It was an awesome experience, but we have to board a train from Kettering to get the bus in Leicester, so we later pass Kettering while going to London. My opinion is a pick up bus stand in kettering will be nice because there where empty chairs left unoccupied.
