Alfa Travel Burtonwood Coach Interchange: Reviews
Negative experience: Basic, limited services

Fantastic experience: Good trip. Both our Drivers were cheerful and very helpful.
Positive experience: Motorway service. Bloody expensive
Positive experience: Bit of a wait .
Negative experience: Excellent holiday. Excellent Drivers. However on return yesterday as the feeder departure monitors were not operating i approached a official who had been previously shouting out coach departure information. I stood directly in front of her. I asked her a question with regard to departure time. She did not ask owledge me at all. She carried on looking down at her phone and totally blanked me for what was quite a while. This was observed by another passenger who tossed her eye's in disbelief. How rude. The older woman was short dumpy and blond haired.
Fantastic experience: Comfortable coaches with good service and on time.

Fantastic experience: easy changover helpful staff
Fantastic experience: Very handy for coach connection to other places
Positive experience: A busy coach interchange. Feeder coaches arrive from all over and passengers are transferred once their cases are sorted to the correct coach. Coaches then depart for their holiday destinations, usually around 1030am. Arrival back is around 3 to 4 pm in order to connect with the feeder coaches once again. Several coach operators use it.

Positive experience: Interchange is ok in good weather. Services very slow need more staff when interchange is on needs a re think
Positive experience: Need more seating on coach days, only one food outlet, staff sorting coaches very efficient
Negative experience: After leaving Chester at 7.30 am prompt,I arrived at Burton wood via the world! And didn't leave until 11.10 to travel to yorkshire.almost 4hrs rediculas waiting around.
Positive experience: We changed coaches here on an Alfa holiday. The facilities are good. The only downside is its Costa coffee or KFC both expensive outlets for people on a budget. At busy times like changeover for coaches the queues are huge and not enough places to sit inside.There is an outdoor picnic area if you bring your own. Although not under cover so reliant on good weather. Needs more indoor seating and a tea/coffee and snack outlet that is budget friendly
Fantastic experience: Zwykły przystanek autobusowy z przesiadkami do sindbada i nie tylko
Negative experience: Overcrowded.
Positive experience: Had coffee in Starbucks, was expensive, travel good
Positive experience: It's organised chaos where your bags are just thrown around with no thought of them having breakables inside.
Positive experience: Bit hectic and not a lot of space inside but got shop for sarnis and plenty of outside seating.
Positive experience: Catch a bus here
Negative experience: Far too small for purpose and undercover area far too inadequate
Positive experience: The staff are well drilled and organised. On busy days, the service station building is completely inadequate for the number of people, you can barely move around, it could do with being made significantly bigger, as it results in people hanging around the coaches and getting in the way of the staff trying to move cases around.
Fantastic experience: Great company. Realistically priced holidays. Feeder coaches pick up around the region and tramsport customers to Burton Wood Interchange. If you prefer as I do you can drive yourself to Burton Wood and leave your car there ( parking charges apply) ready for your return !
Fantastic experience: Thursford Show was Fantastic!!!!!!! New Beach Hotel was nice and clean meals and entertainment Great.
