National Express Nottingham Gatwick recent customer reviews
Excellent for arriving on time. Great value for money. Driver was very happy and friendly. Dreadful for comfort. The seats are so uncomfortably annoying I wanted at one point to get off and take a taxi. Having said that my wife took exactly the same journey a few months earlier and she said the coach was absolutely fine. I guess there are different coaches within the NE fleet.

The bus from Nottingham to Victoria station arrived at Victoria station on time. Conversely the bus from Victoria Station to Gatwick arrived late and when it left the station it was already 45 minutes late. On-route the driver told us it take another two hours to reach our destination Gatwick North, which meant that we would arrive late to check in for our flight. we ask the driver to drop us off the bus, and we were helped by our daughter who worked nearby to re-arrange our travel to Gatwick via the train. We relied on national express and was very disappointed as a result.
