National Express Heathrow Bradford recent customer reviews

Journey itself was fine however apparently Bradford bus station had closed several months ago , as a result we were dropped off in some back street and our driver having no knowledge of where one could find a local bus stop to get one home. A very frustrating 40 minutes walking and enquiring ensued.

I was 2 minutes late for my coach as my flight was delayed unfortunatly . The coach stopped he then realised that i had a small cary on case then drove away ! I then had to buy another ticket that was double the price of the first ticket and waited over 2 hours in the cold then that coach came 10 minutes late.
