National Express Glasgow Perth recent customer reviews
All passengers waited over 40 minutes in the cold for the bus to ARRIVE. Eventually the bus came, the bus driver exited and spoke to the marshal for ages, laughing and joking and ignoring all the passengers who were keen to get on with the delayed journey.
The bus was rather cold as well... if there aren’t any power sockets and WIFI (understandable for short journeys), at least make it warm? :)
