National Express Newcastle upon Tyne Blackpool recent customer reviews

I will keep it short, niggling to Blackpool we had nothing but delays and proble m, we were supposed to get to Blackpool bus station for 7.10pm and we go there at 10.50 pm , from delays to bus problem, which part of the delay could have been avoided if national express listened to the driver .
