Hey all

I am flying from Heathrow to Toronto on June 6th at 14.00, returning June 14th at 12.00.

I need transport to Heathrow, either train or bus.

Can anyone help me find a cheap price.

£45 by National Express is cheapest so far.

TIA

I looked to see if Megabus served Swansea and sadly they don't.

National Express has funfares if you want to check - I put the dates in and there were a few journeys between £5-£7 each way though it would take you to Central London, then you'd have to get on the tube (or another bus) to get to Heathrow. It would still be cheaper but it depends if you're ok with the extra stop:

EDIT - just looked at train fares and although there are singles available from £18 they've all been snapped up, most prices are about £40 each way by train.

I went on Nat Express to Gatwick and the bus broke down and they took over 2 hours to get a replacement. Lots of people had to order taxis to take them to airport as they were in danger of missing their flights. The company couldn't tell us how long a bus would be and we were left sitting on a cold bus outside a bus station at Chepstow in the middle of the night.

Thanks Crabman.

I'll have a look at these later.

It's a shame there's no flights there from Cardiff.

Another question.

I can do Crabman's suggestion of Nat Express to London (£12 return), then across to Heathrow but due to bus arrival times I can't do it by tube.

Heathrow Connect is £14.80 return (25mins). Has anyone got an idea of what this is like?

I have done Heathrow Express from Paddington before, but it's £32 return! So I may as well get NatExpress direct to Heathrow for that price!
