We would normally use rail/coach service to Heathrow from Weymouth, but this year, we are travelling at a different time of day which means an overnight stay at Premier Inn before flight.

From Woking Station, we need to get to the Heathrow Longford T5 hotel 420 Bath Rd.

I know there is a Bus service 423 from the premier to T5 (stand 6) every 15 mins, but don't know the route we will need to take from Woking Rail to Premier.

If there isn't one, maybe we should use the coachlink service to Heathrow then bus back to Premier?.

Hope this make sense and thanks in anticipation.

    Yes, thanks for the number of it. We would normally use it as part of the rail/coach to airport run. But this time we don't need to get to the airport till the following morning, hence our overnight stay at Premier. That is why I wondered if we could bus from BR to Premier.

    I think your best bet is to get the railair bus and then use a local route 423 bus to the hotel. This is free as it is within the airport zone - don't pay for a Hoppa bus.

    Not directly. Google Maps suggestion of the route: https://goo.gl/maps/7wqaZiHFLks avoiding changing at airport itself. As above, the bus along the Bath Road will be free.

    In fairness to the Hoppa they take you direct to the front door so depending on the mobility, the weather at the time of travelling & whether there are any children involved, the cost may be worth it.

    And heavy luggage which a lot of people forget which may mean the hoppa is better than a local bus, and cheaper than a cab.

    423 drops off directly outside the PI and goes back to T5 from directly opposite.

    Plenty of room for luggage on 423 and you can pretty much roll it onboard from the kerb.

    You have each presented me with the information required, thanks you.

    My wife walks with a mobility walker and we will have cabin luggage only. (if I have my way), as we leave clothes at our daughters for each visit.

    I will write down all of the information presented and use. thanks again.

    The 701 calls at Terminal 5 , the bus stop is outside the arrivals hall on the ground floor, there is no need to go to the Central Bus Station to pick it up at all.
