National Express Heathrow Penzance recent customer reviews

The bus was extremely comfortable, warm, clean and nice to travel in. The staff were very welcoming, friendly and approachable, used some humour which made it a bit more fun. Highly recommend. Only negative was the lock in the bathroom didn’t work it allowed someone to enter as I was pulling up!! Luckily I’m not shy so didn’t bother me. Heard it happen to another passenger.

We missed our designated stop for a break due to accident. I had planned on getting a bite to eat and water at this stop so went the whole journey with nothing. I didn't mention this to the bus driver and he may have offered another stop which I didn't hear with my headphones on but just an FYI
