They’re great, there was an accident and a motorway was closed but the driver took a detour so we got to oxford with not much delay at all.

Bus did not arrive instead a 7 seater car which took everyone to Milton Keynes (some had planned to go direct to Gatwick) then actually got a Stagecoach to Oxford which arrived about 20 minutes earlier. So did not actually experience a National Express!!
