National Express Derby Loughborough recent customer reviews
The bus was clean and comfortable and I was looking forward to a relaxing journey, however it was my first journey to Loughborough so I asked the driver to tell me when I had to get off at my stop. Not only did he not tell me but failed to announce the stop at all. As a consequence I ended up at Derby and missed my connection. When I pointed this out to the driver he was very rude and unhelpful and made me pay for a ticket from Derby back to Loughborough although it had been his mistake for not announcing the stop in the first place. What should have been a pleasant journey turned out to be a bit of a nightmare and spoilt my tap.
