Pros: Comfortable. Cons: More space for leg. Tips: Choose National Express because I was returning from London by mega bus and it was a terrible trip. The bus smelled so bad from the toilet that the passengers sat with clothes on their faces the whole way. I was travelling with kids. The trip was delayed by 30 minutes, I had to arrange transport at night.
