National Express Bristol Taunton recent customer reviews

Driver allowed two "gentlemen" to move around the coach at will. They were also shouting at each other in an aggressive manner in a different language. As we approached Taunton they tried to stop the co can and began using English swear words and phrases. Driver very unhelpful. A nightmare - no more coaches for me!
