My coach never arrived and I was very fortunate to get on an earlier scheduled one which was running two hours late. No communication and helpline was unresponsive. I ended up two hours late! Never again!

Nice, helpful driver. Bus left on time. Smooth journey. Comfortable seating. Temperature of coach was fine. Arrived on time.

I've never travelled by National Express before. I asked the bus and coach team 3 times which stand my bus to Bournemouth would be going from. Not once did they tell me it would say Poole on the bus, so I missed the bus. I had to pay £42 for another ticket and wait 2 hours for the next bus which actually said Bournemouth on it.
