National Express London Taunton recent customer reviews

Driver really nice but at Victoria station although we could see our bus no one bothered to tell us why it was delayed and seemed angry with us as we were blocking our designated gate. A quick announcement would have been helpful and an idea of how long it was going to be delayed by.

The service was described as having WiFi and charging points. There was no WiFi working and all of the WiFi charging points around us were broken! We arrived in Taunton 3 hours late

Everything was very good. The only negative point was the drop off point in Taunton. It was on a very isolate place. No bus, no taxis and no way to walk towards a place to find other ways of transport
