National Express Heathrow Leeds recent customer reviews

We booked Heathrow to Leeds via Victoria Station. The bus was almost 15 minutes late and It took 2 hours to get from the airport to Victoria Station because of traffic. We missed our next bus up to Leeds and waited another hour for the next one. Then there was an accident on the M1 causing a diversion in plan adding another hour. Towards the end the heating on the bus was so hot we were fanning ourselves. It seemed the bus could be cold or boiling. Nothing in between. The drivers were very good though. Couldn’t fault them for things they didn’t have control over.

The seats were very uncomfortable and wc was not working and washroom door latch was broken.

Our bus did not arrive at the stated stop, hence we missed the bus, as it stopped a couple of bus stops away behind several other buses.
