National Express London Stoke-on-Trent recent customer reviews

Not impressed National Express inflated their prices significantly due to rail strikes. Over sold tickets and as a result 2 buses were delayed trying to get passengers on. Diverted journey made coach late at destination. Drivers we’re doing their upmost to ensure things ran smoothly but it was clearly difficult for them due to poor organisation and financial greed on the part of National Express
