Customers are very impressed with the service, as everything went smoothly. The coach is clean and comfortable, and the driver is helpful and polite. However, some customers had issues with booking the wrong bus time, which resulted in additional expenses for a taxi to Stansted. There were also complaints about late buses and lack of information provided to confused passengers at Stanstead.

My problem was that I booked 2 AM Bus Instead of the 13.00 pm bus so I had to get a taxi to Stansted.

The bus was late - confused passengers were asking for information but there was none. No-one knew if/when the bus was to arrive at Stanstead. I asked numerous "employees" but they all said they didn't work for Nat. Express. It was a shocking display of incompetence.

Very impressed. Everything went smoothly. Clean and comfortable coach and helpful driver. Given the price of airport parking will use this again.
