National Express London Penzance recent customer reviews
The only reason for the delays was waiting for a passenger on a connecting coach and motorway roadworks, otherwise the journey was fine and the first driver was funny and made the very long journey more fun. The second driver wasn't as interactive but he didn't do anything bad or wrong on the trip. All in all, despite delays, a good experience.

slightly cramped, rather poorly designed seats (seat squab position too horizontal) sometimes with problems of the back not locking into position; VUER app no substitute for wi-fi - just an average standard UK style coach service, but generally runs to time
