National Express Preston Heathrow recent customer reviews

Bus did leave about 15 minutes off schedule due to people not having right documents. Made it in plenty of time to London. Was happy with that

Was a calm safe and fast journey. Issue when boarding as Apple Pay doesn’t show the stops taken therefore services needed to be rang

At Preston NO staff and no information. When earlier bus arrived 45 minutes late your staff said they had NO information about my scheduled service. Several passengers were concerned about meeting international Flight connections. Suggest a senior staff person attends Preston bus depot and observe the lack of customer assistance. At Birminghan staff and information was available and reliable.
