There was an accident and road works on the way. Not the fault of the bus company. The driver was excellent.

The bus driver was unaware that his bus was operating for national express, he send to an information booth and drove off. The information staff told me that that had been my bus. I had to wait 30 min for a next bus. On a full day international trip, this type of stuff makes a journey exhausting.

The driver was phenomenal. He asked everyone to confirm their destination and assisted those of us who didn’t know where they were going. He lifted all the luggage in and out and negotiated motor way and narrow street traffic in that big bus. Well done sir!

the driver loaded my bags and he was very angry at me for not telling me that it was heavy. I aplogised for not saying beforehand but he kept on going at me. He needs to understand that airport baggage are definitely going to be heavy and he should be mindful of that and throw his anger at me eventhough I apologised.

First time to use a coach - glad that my first experience went smoothly. Took coach 39 from LHR at 1405 to Thornhill. The coach driver was so ever polite and helpful. All travellers seem to have a question or 2 and he took time to listen and advise accordingly. The coach was clean as well.
