National Express London Lancaster recent customer reviews

I liked the whole service of the national Express my on only concern is the drivers were being given such a strict directions such they don’t relate with the passengers rather than fulfilling their assignments. But looking at what I experienced was totally not good at, I was left behind at certain interval point when made a stop to refresh ourselves, During that brief stop over I went to the toilet and there was a lot of people and they left me.
