Today I really enjoyed my trip with the National Express bus london -Leeds. The driver was very professional. I appreciated the driving, especially the passenger check after the break. The driver counted several times to make sure everyone was on board before we moved. The Wi-Fi was excellent. Their service is pleasant. The trip was perfectly on time.
