It was good. It was on time (arrival and departure). The driver was polite and helpful. What I didn't understand is why you pay extra on online - would have expected it to be the same price.

About National Express
Written by the company
It’s about more than just getting from here to there
As the nation’s number 1 coach operator, we’re all about giving you more.
More value for money by offering low fares but first-class quality. More comfort thanks to comfy seats, loads of legroom, free Wi-Fi, power sockets and unrivalled safety. More convenience because we operate right across the UK with more stops and services than any other coach company.
Travelling with us is greener than other coach companies, taking the train or going by car. And we’re only going to get greener still thanks to huge, ongoing investment.
There are so many fantastic reasons to choose National Express. But every single reason points the same way.
We are National Express. This is the direction of travel.

I booked a ticket through the website
I booked a ticket through the website. However, the driver said the bus is not scheduled to go to Earl's court. He said he can't find it on his duty sheet. He said "I don't know why the website let you book it."
Anyway, he took me to the Earl's court. If it wasn't for driver's generosity, I couldn't take the bus.
The booking system should be fixed.

The driver was very good but the people at the airport working for national express advised me to take the first bus which was going to Paddington station instead of Victoria. Had to pay extra and waisted time to travel by tube to the chosen destination.

Disappointed.. Will not use again
The air con from halifax to London was so high everyone was freezing. The air-conditioning from london to gatwick didn't work. People were nearly passing out on the coach. If you locked your dog in a car in that heat you would be prosecuted. We were 2 hours late, caught in a traffic jam on M25 which a passenger looked up an alternative route to get us to the airport and she missed her flight

EXCELLENT SERVICE
I have used this service quite often and 99% the coach has arrived on time or before expected. The drivers are always polite and extremely helpful. I can’t praise the service and the drivers enough. Today 23/06/26 I got the 09:28 to Gatwick south and although the coach was a little late (still arrived at destination in good time) the driver was extremely helpful and polite. Well done, great service, 5*****
