National Express Oxford Stansted recent customer reviews

A long journey but the timings went to schedule and the driver was very professional. The temperature on the coach was set a little chilly so it was fortunate I had an extra layer of clothing to put on. Another small criticism was that the tannoy announcements from the driver were low volume and difficult to hear properly.
