National Express London Stansted recent customer reviews
I enjoyed how the gentleman in charge of the bus gave the safety brief and his message by the end of the journey. The best part of the journey ever. Amazing and funny. That’s my first time to experience that with National Express . He’s an absolute joy! 🤩

Too many stops to pick up new passengers when National Express knew the traffic on the way to Stansted was bad. A faster route would have been better with a substitute bus added in.

The bus we booked from Victoria Station to Stansted Airport on 7th September 2025 at 12:00 pm never arrived even though we had booked in advance and paid for 2 tickets, and we had to take a taxi at an additional cost to the airport. Your company's service is unreliable and below the minimum standard. This is a big disappointment.
