National Express London Wakefield recent customer reviews

The journey time was fairly quick and the service was punctual, however there was litter everywhere on the bus, the surfaces were sticky and the woman sat behind me was very loud and regularly smoking drugs in the toilet which smelt horrendous whenever she would open the toilet door to come back into the coach
