National Express Brighton Birmingham recent customer reviews

The driver was very helpful from Brighton. It was my first time traveling by National Express and when we got to Heathrow, he came to me and told me that I had to transfer and get into the Birmingham coach. Your staff is very kind, patient and helpful. The whole experience was just good.
