National Express London Dover recent customer reviews
It was great. With the kindest and most prudent driver I have ever travelled by bus with. 20/10
Solange A.
Poor inadequate seating and ventilation at the Victoria station. Not enough seats and very crowded. Toilets okay though. It was the day of a national train strike and heatwave which doesn’t help . The bus was delayed by 2 hours due to technical failure. Having said that the driver deserves a top grade . He was excellent and after only a 45 minute break drove us to ensure the wait wasn’t any longer. He was calm and friendly on the journey. The drive itself was punctual and fine and we arrived within the journey time specified.

Everything was good, but the driver from Dover to London was constantly swearing at the traffic.
