National Express Stansted Ipswich recent customer reviews
My problem was that I booked 2 AM Bus Instead of the 13.00 pm bus so I had to get a taxi to Stansted.
Denis G.
The bus was late - confused passengers were asking for information but there was none. No-one knew if/when the bus was to arrive at Stanstead. I asked numerous "employees" but they all said they didn't work for Nat. Express. It was a shocking display of incompetence.
Dennis M.
Very impressed. Everything went smoothly. Clean and comfortable coach and helpful driver. Given the price of airport parking will use this again.
