National Express London Whitstable recent customer reviews
I didn't make my 11 o'clock journey as I couldn't see it on the board even though I was on time to catch the coach and there was no one on the enquiry desk to talk to find out which gate I should be on. I thought the coach was direct to Whitstable but when I eventually spoke to the information guy he was extremely helpful
Lynne S.
Very friendly driver. However the directions of the coach stop were very confusing

National Express gets a big insufficient Mark!! Bus can be late, that is no problem, but there was no communication possible. E.G. the 'track your coach' did not work.
