National Express Plymouth Bristol recent customer reviews

Inside the bus was very cold, they had no heating on. The internet was so slow that I had to use my own data. The USB plug didn't charge my phone at all so my phone died. They were suposed to arrive at 14:00 and we got there at 14:25. I was so stressed as I had to take the flyer bus to the airport and I was worried that I'd miss my flight. It was a disaster this journey and super long, over 4 hours b

As I have said, we were 30 minutes late leaving Plymouth but in fairness there was an incident with another passenger trying to travel with a weapon so the staff had no option but to deal with it safely which they did. Other than that the journey was good 👍.

David L.

January 10, 2022

I was happy with the bus journey, staff and timekeeping, however I was disappointed to find that the wearing of masks seemed to be voluntary with the driver asking people to wear one if they had one. A number of young people wore no mask for the entirety of the 3 hour journey putting others at risk.
