My college age daughter will be arriving at Terminal 4 at Heathrow. Could someone tell me how she finds the Central Bus Station so she can take The Airline bus that runs to Oxford. Is the Central Bus Station located at Heathrow? Or does she need to take a shuttle? Help?!

You might find this helpful: http://www.tourinaday.com/oxford/hea...to-oxford.html , Central bus station is on Terminal 1 And 3, It's necessary to take Heathrow Express(free between terminals) from T4 to T1&3.

The service is run by the Oxford Bus Company. She needs to transfer from T4 to the Central Bus Station at T1/3 using the free train shuttle service

No need to pre-book for the Oxford bus - from memory they come along every 20 minutes or so and you just pay the driver as you get on.

Note that the bus station is all under cover, but can be absolutely freezing cold as you are in the open air rather than inside a building. We arrived in time to see the bus pulling out, and the wait for the next bus was sooooooo cold!! Bus stops are numbered and we had no problem locating which stop to wait at. Di

"can be absolutely freezing cold as you are in the open air rather than inside a building"

You're not.

For anyone hypersensitive to a spot of fresh air, there's a perfectly good, - and heated - waiting/booking/ticketing/coffee-selling "lounge" ten yards away from stand 14A where Oxford buses usually leave from. Personally, I avoid it because it's usually too hot. But it's well signed.

Thank you for the replies! I just wish Heathrow was better signed. Catching the shuttle from Term 5 to Term 4 back in October, for me, was a challenge. Thanks again.
