Transfer
 

Headed for Edinburgh, I'm scheduled to arrive <BR>at Heathrow (Term 4) about 9:30a.m. on Sat- <BR>urday, Aug. 18th. I figure I can get a 12:00 <BR>train from London to Edinburgh. Is this realistic? And what's the best way for me make the transfer from <BR>Heathrow to the train station? Thanks.

Howard, <BR> <BR>I'm sorry I can't answer your question however, you might be more successful at obtaining an answer by being more specific with your "message topic". <BR> <BR>Robin

Shouldn't be a problem! <BR> <BR>Underground Piccadilly Line direct from T4 to King's Cross for Edingburgh train (1.5 hours?). <BR> <BR>Or the Heathrow Express from T4 to Paddington (20 mins) then Underground on the King's Cross (another 20 mins). <BR> <BR>Probably recommend Piccadilly Line as it's LOTS cheaper and no changes! Heathrow Express is quicker and comfier but you pay a hefty premium - and you still need to get from Paddington to King's X by tube!

Message: Alex, <BR> <BR>I'm going to have a Britrail pass that <BR>they told me would be good for the Heathrow Express. So it sounds to me like that, then the Underground to Kings <BR>X, might be fastest. <BR> <BR>Thanks for the advice. <BR>

Howard, <BR> <BR>You can PROBABLY make it, but be aware that London airports are crowded with tourists in August. You'll have to wait for baggage, and you have to clear customs and immigration. It could be tight, or you could get lucky and sail right through in plenty of time. <BR> <BR>If you've got much luggage, you may want to avoid the Tube...on a Saturday it won't be too crowded, but there is limited space for luggage and you sometimes have to deal with stairways where lifts/escalators are unavailable or not working--no problem at Heathrow station, but there have been some escalator woes at Kings Cross. The Heathrow Express to Paddington rail station, then a taxi to Kings Cross would be your alternative. <BR> <BR>Trains depart Kings Cross for Edinburgh almost every hour... <BR> <BR>Dave White <BR>http://www.KidsToLondon.com <BR>[email protected]
