National Express Stansted Southampton recent customer reviews
Hi, the stuff was really nice and helpful, and the buses were comfortable
The staff was very friendly and helpful. They let me take the earlier bus as my flight arrived ahead of schedule. Clean and well maintained. I'd ride again.
I always Enjoy traveling with National Express. But in future I will sit in the front half of the bus as an eastern european was smoking and drinking in the seat behind me 🙁
