The comfort and cleanliness of the bus was excellent. It was a shame that the bus had to visit 3 terminals at Heathrow prior to my stop at reading.

Our first pick up from Gatwick Airport at 10:15 on the 201 bus was terrible due to the driver not give us any information or aby Sence if decency or respect - due to his attitude on the 201 bus I will never get another national express bus as he was rude to all the passengers and myself and partner!
