National Express Bradford Heathrow recent customer reviews

Drivers could be a little clear in announcing to passengers on the speaker regarding the stations and towns they’re stopping. Long journeys passengers sleep and it’s easy to miss their stop. Not happened to me yet 😜 but I do try shut to my eyes for a bit
