First time I ever used the National Express. Cheap fares and a good service I think. Nice comfortable, clean bus and I enjoyed the runs through different places in Wales, which were new to me. Both drivers we're friendly and polite and treated our luggage with respect. Only reason for giving 4 stars. Would have been helpful if newbies like me, knew if it is ok to use the toilet while bus was moving or parked. (I just hung on for worry about using the toilet at an inappropriate time! 🤣) I have decided if buses we're frequent and convenient enough, I would happily ditch the car!
