What are the Bus Classes & Prices of National Express?
The price of your bus trip will depend both on the destination and the class of your ticket. Note that not all ticket classes are available on certain routes yet for longer trips there is almost always a good choice of options. Opt for a sleeper coach for the most convenient overnight trip. Sleeper buses are usually equipped with berths or soft reclining seats, feature an onboard toilet and your ticket may also include other perks like snacks or even a lunch. Taking a night bus is also a good idea if you want to save on your hotel room. During the day an express service is often the best value for money as it makes less stops than an ordinary or standard class bus and travels faster. On some routes it may be crucial to choose the right class as, say, an ordinary or second class bus may need some 6 hours to cover the distance the first class or express bus travels in two hours!
Pros & Cons of Bus Travel
Pros of Bus Travel
-
Buses usually boast the widest network of destinations covered. They travel to the places you cannot get to by plane or even by train
-
Travelling by bus is easy – there is no need to arrive to the bus terminal much in advance, and the check-in is usually a very fast formality opposite to air travel
-
Bus tickets are very affordable. Yes, there are costly first class or VIP options but is you are on a budget, bus is the first means of transportation you have to think about
-
At the same time, there are different classes of service to suit any budget. If you are after a higher level of comfort, buses get you covered, too.
Cons of Bus Travel
-
Intercity bus terminals can be located outside the city centre in the outskirts. It means you will need to calculate extra time and money to get there. In certain destinations getting from the bus terminal can cost you more than you would expect because only a limited number of transportation companies is allowed to serve the route – and prices may be inflated.
-
During busy weekends or high season buses serving some tourist destinations may run out of schedule and require advanced booking.
-
While buses are not as weather dependent as ferries, bus trips can also be delayed or cancelled due to bad weather or road conditions – keep it in mind if travelling during certain seasons or to certain destinations.

Anonymous Where’s the compassion these days! I asked the co-driver to allow me to sit in a vacant seat at the front of the bus after taking off and realizing I was afflicted with motion sickness; I also suffer with Parkinson’s which he didn’t need to know; I simply needed to be at the front which is less rocky. He was having none of it, he said those 2 front seats were ‘theirs’ for their bags and no I could not sit there. That seat remained vacant throughout the entire trip and my journey was quite miserable. Typical British officiousness that I can do without.

stuart Bus was late picking up. The second bus from Victoria to Stanstead was comfortable, well driven. Driver was polite and we arrived on time. On the first leg, Reading to Victoria, in very wet weather, the driver was constantly turning round to talk loudly to her friend, and this felt very unsafe.

Glenice A Tale of 2 Stops. The comfortable Ride. Well we were not impressed with the trip to Braintree, Being dumped in the Country side when we expected to arrive in Town. We were lucky that a lady at Tescos which we found by good luck was able to call us a taxi. For our return journey, not wishing to take a taxi ride and risk a long wait in the wilderness with possible bad weather we changed our booking to join the Bus at Stanstead Airport, travelling from Braintree Town centre to Stanstead by Arriva Bus. Although we had to wait longer for the bus to arrive at Stanstead at least we were under cover with the chance of refreshments. I think you should inform Customers that Braintree town is some mile and a half from the bus stop.

emily Poor customer service. journey was comfortable. There had been an accident on the M25 which had affected the tunnel apparently at 3pm and had caused a backlog. I arrived at the central bus station early, 17:00hrs and enquired about switching to an earlier coach. I was advised of the above and asked to go to terminal 5 as buses were not coming through. I sought updates from the National express staff there who kept saying the bus is on its way, at one point I was told it was "around the corner". It finally arrived at 20:15hrs. If I had been made aware of the substantial delay, I would have made alternative arrangements. Accidents will happen but keeping passengers updated with accurate information in a timely manner would go a long way o making a bad situation bearable.

Patricia No problem. The driver was very professional and kind. Nothing was any trouble even when a woman was moaning because she should have got an earlier bus and worried about missing her flight. He reassured her REPEATEDLY and kept calm. This way at 8.50 and her flight wasn’t until 10.30 !! It wasn’t easy !! The moaning Minnie !!

Anonymous Mostly pretty good. Bus arrived at destination close to the time it said it would. Signposting for national express services could be a little clearer, as someone who hadn't gone from that stop before it took me a little while to find the correct stop.

Anonymous Unfortunately, I lost 11 GBP due to a very poor service of the company. First, the website does not function as it should - I wanted to book a return ticket Luton-London-Luton and I only chose the journey to London thinking I would have time for choosing the bus back later. Unfortunately, the system confirmed a randomly chosen time on the day of my travel back and that is what I discovered I paid for - not the ticket from Luton Airport to London. I immediately wrote to the company (8th of December), then twice before my journey back, and finally I had to book another ticket with another company and I did not get a reply until now (22nd December). At Victoria Station I asked a driver if he could take me to Luton at a different time based on the ticket I had for later that day. Obviously, he didn't want to do that and did not do. I definitely do not recommend the company. They just totally ignore passengers.

Jana Awful ride. The bus ride was awfull. I have never met that kind of rude driver. He was unpleasant and really offensive. He didnt answer my queation about when the bus is leaving ,he just turn his head. The whole bus smelled on urin from the toilet. He was driving really fast and always complaining he has to make it home before its to late.

Szimonetta Worst experience out of all bus company. My bus has arrived 31 minutes late for its departure time. This is completely ruined my whole journey and its totally unacceptable. The driver has not explained anything just carried on like it was a normal thing. Also caused me massive stress as I nearly missed my flight.
