I posted earlier today with questions about this transfer but it disappeared into the "next-50" limbo -- and there is at least one other query about this on the forum tonight. <BR> <BR>My query noted that the Speedlinks website was non-functioning, and now I find that the www.btausa.com offered by Joyce is fine until you click on the links for transportation and airport transfer, and then there's an error message and no-go. <BR> <BR>I don't know if the problem lies in trying to access these sites from the States or in something more basic. But can someone please offer a quick description of what's involved? <BR>Apparently one finds a bus dedicated to this connection and someone said the bus is supposed to run every 15 minutes. What we don't know is how long the trip takes, whether there are long lines for the buses and/or one may not get on the first one that comes by, and whether one's baggage can be checked through or must be claimed, toted, and rechecked. <BR> <BR>For me and Cate and the others... can someone help? <BR> <BR>

There is a coach service run by National Express - www.gobycoach.co.uk <BR> <BR>It runs every half hour during the day, and takes about an hour (there is no need to change buses at all). The adult single fare is £12 (more on Friday, or on Saturdays in July/August). <BR> <BR>You can buy your tickets online, and they will be posted to you by airmail, provided you book at least 14 days in advance. Otherwise, you can collect them at Heathrow, providing you're there between 6 in the morning and 9 at night. <BR> <BR>There are 5 bus stops at Heathrow (central, Terminals 1,2,3 & 4) and 2 at Gatwick (North and South).
