National Express Leeds Luton recent customer reviews

It was a total nightmare from beginning to end. set off late. Connections late. Return coach didn't arrive and alternate coach would not let us board. We ended up getting a taxi from Luton to Milton Keynes. The coach station was closed for advise. The bus stand timetable was incorrect showing only one coach number and wrong times. We were all very stressed and terribly disappointed.
