Note de l'éditeur
Bien que l'easyBus soit beaucoup moins cher que le National Express, il est considéré comme l'une des pires expériences de bus à Londres car il est petit, ancien et assez inconfortable. Si vous souhaitez un trajet en bus facile et agréable, nous vous recommandons de payer quelques livres supplémentaires et de prendre un billet National Express.
