National Express Exeter Newquay recent customer reviews

The information about the location of the bus stand was unclear and did not state specifically where the bus would leave from. There was no sign on the street to make it clear and therefore the bus left from a different half of the road which had been named (the other side of a main road) and I missed the bus and lost out of my money and my travel.
