National Express Bristol Heathrow recent customer reviews

The bus driver ended up damaging my luggage. It was so unnecessary and unprofessional. He did not need to remove the baggage with such force and he ended up snapping my one of the wheels clean off the suitcase. No apology and he was extremely rude.

On time, comfortable buses, good driving, that justifies not to be the cheapest option? I do think so

Gonzalo M.

8 June 2024

My experience was terrible. I turned up at Bristol bus station to catch the 05.50 to Heathrow only to find it was delayed until 07.20. Leaving at 07.20 would have resulted in a missed flight and so I had to go home to get the care and drive to Heathrow
