National Express Oxford Edinburgh recent customer reviews
Staff werr really friendly and helpful. For an overnight bus it wasn't too bad at all, just wish the seats had been a little more comfortable so we could get some sleep

We were travelling from Oxford to Edinburgh by Stage Coach and National Express and did not understand that there were two two bus terminals in Milton Keyens. We wound up hiring a cab to go from the train station to the second bus terminal. This comment is for Stage Coach but it would have been useful as tourists to have the heads up that there were two stops.
