National Express Brighton Cardiff recent customer reviews

my buses to Cardiff were great, the return from Cardiff to Victoria smelt of vomit the whole journey and there was no heating, the driver had to have the window open so the windscreen didn't cloud, we were all freezing ... there was vomit in the wash hand basin right from the start, was an awful trip.
