National Express Sheffield Bradford recent customer reviews

The coach always stinks, so many people come in and out and it’s like a window has never been opened. It’s disgusting, like being trapped in a box with no fresh air, horrible. How hard is it to have windows that open. I don’t think there are any in your coaches.
