Embracing the charming atmospheric market towns within Hertfordshire and city of St Albans, Uno Bus routes, 341/641, Broxbourne to Hatfield, 610, between Luton and Harpenden and 602 Hatfield to St Albans, all received the highest rating in the mystery shopping reviews that Great Scenic Journeys undertakes across its collection, testing all aspects of the entire, end-to-end customer experience.

All-round great customer service

One Reviewer commented in his assessment that “the on-board product was fabulous, information was clear and eye-catching, there was some positive branding and messaging that brought the identity of the route to life and the driver’s were chirpy, as well as immaculately attired. The buses were sparkling clean too and the website really easy to navigate and compelling in design and content”.

All of the Great Scenic Journeys reviews follow detailed scoring criteria and provide recommendations for improvement. Even for those routes that achieve Premium Rating, there’s always areas to get even better and we work with bus companies, such as Uno Bus, to go through scores, findings and suggestions.
