National Express is praised for providing a very good service in the country, with buses arriving on time, which is crucial for airport travel. However, some users suggest that ticket prices could be lower and recommend encouraging drivers to ensure luggage isn't stored on seats during night trips.

National Express Northampton Heathrow recent customer reviews

No issue with the service, but I think it should be more encouraged for the bus driver to tell travellers to not store luggage on seats. Especially during a night bus lots were asleep. We couldn’t find a seat without having to wake someone up.

I planned to take the coach on 17th April at 3:40pm from Norhamption to Heathrow Airport, but there was no sign of the coach even at 4pm. We waited at the place at the designated place with the sigh Nationl Express. There was a bus stop on the opposite side but with no sign indicating National Express. We checked on phone but no reply even after 15 min. We also checked on our phone but the indication was that there was no schuled stop. When we prepared to give up, we saw a national Express bus traveling on opposite side at fast speed with no intention of stopping. So we use our own means to go to Heathrow airport with much worries. I will seek compensation from the company.
