National Express Milton Keynes Edinburgh recent customer reviews
Nothing wrong with the bus or driver but the women’s toilets in Leeds were absolutely disgusting. Reported this fact and in the twenty minutes I sat with a cup of tea I saw nothing at all being done to rectify the problem, in fact I saw no station personnel of any description even going to check the problem despite seeing plenty staff in the office.

The bus was 40 minutes late for departure, but fortunately we arrived to Edinburgh just 5 minutes later of time. Every time anyone went for toilet, the bus was filled with unpleasant smell. And the conditioner was on only from time to time.
Marina A.
A busy bus 15 mins late in MK Had to sit at the back and found the toilet distastefully smelly deteriorating with every user.
