National Express Gatwick Luton recent customer reviews
I enjoyed every minute from the moment the coach arrived. The lady bus drivers, (had to take two coaches.) were amazing and so cheerful early morning. Wished every passenger Merry Christmas. Would highly recommend.
On time and Sean, our driver, was really friendly, cheerful and helpful. He immediately assisted with our luggage and made us feel welcome on board. He obviously enjoys his job and this shows.
Bus didn’t go from the given address. It said Buckingham Palace Street on the ticket but I actually Had to take a 30 min cab detour to get to the bus station
