National Express Sunderland York recent customer reviews

The bus to York smelled of urine. The bus driver told us to go to the wrong stop for the return journey home so we nearly missed the bus. The connecting bus at Leeds was in a different bay to the one on the notice board so we nearly missed that bus too!
