National Express Manchester Milton Keynes recent customer reviews
I did not like the way the driver commanded me when i boarded in Manchester to sit at the back yet i was sitting at the front and gave someone else my seat. I felt it's cos of my originality and gave the the seat to someone of the same origin and therefore not any member of my family will ever use your buses again.
