National Express Reading Gatwick recent customer reviews

Finding your bus stop in Calcot opposite the lay-by really needs to be signposted or have some sort of recognition for national express! It was very difficult to find especially at an early hour of the morning.

When contacted, none of the three national express staff I had interactions with could tell me the correct stop location for reading as when I caught the bus I was told to wait in the wrong location, meaning that I ended running after my bus.
