![]() ![]() ![]() I took pity on a gentleman from Israel, transitting o/n en route to New York and paid his £5 but other were left behind to return into the Terminal for their ticket. Make online reservations for the Park Here, Fly There package by using Promotional Code, PKF or call 0800-221-222 in the UK and reference the code. There was nobody there to advise folk arriving and the information signage, for non-English speakers, is poor.Īt last we headed off, not to the hotels on the list but to T4…… Picked up one lonely passenger there and then headed off to the Bath Road and the hotel drop off points. Sods Law, mine was the last stop but it took me close to 90 minutes from arrival to hotel – I would say ‘never again’ but the thought of approaching a London cabby with a 10 minute fare scares me!! and Ireland - Hotel Hoppa H56 Heathrow Hotel Hoppa - Staying at the DoubleTree (don't normally use it when coming from T5 and when in T3 I tend to get a TFL bus) and as there's no direct TFL bus from T5 to this hotel I thought I might as well get the Hoppa (H56). ![]() The 423 can, as noted above, be slightly flaky compared to taking any one of the many buses to the Central stops, I have spent 30 mins waiting for one outside the Compass Centre.Surely, things can be organised better than this to provide something that is far more flexible, much faster, less parochial and, above all, welcoming? This is Heathrow Airport and National Express (who run the service) at their collective worst. I still tend to think you could be standing around on a train platform at T1/2/3 Not Moving as much as at a bus stop waiting specifically for the 423 and Not Moving, though your chance of inclement weather underground is reduced. In mitigation, I rarely arrive to LHR to go to a hotel near LHR, usually the hotel precedes a very early departure. On the way in, that optimisation (of transferring airside and landing oneself in T2) had not occurred to me. I've occasionally caught the last night bus from Harlington Corner to T5 unintentionally at around 06:30, which whizzes around to T5 very quickly. The 423 is only 3 buses an hour, which is a bit tedious for me! But sometimes it works. In the other direction I personally take the first bus going to either T2 or T5 since moving is better than not moving. A lot of T2 users arrive on ID cards so the e-gates there aren't much used. That's a fair point, however if HBO from LHR (and even better if arriving at T5B), then T2 and bus is a doddle and very quick, you can be in your hotel room in 20 minutes arriving arriving. If you have checked luggage to collect or are Domestic/Irish, then take the tube to T2/T3, bus station is above. If you are HBO or with checked luggage to elsewhere and you arrive before 21:30 into T5, take the bus to T2 (no boarding pass needed unless Domestic/Irish), short walk to UK Border, landside and to the bus station. If very early or late, the night bus service from T5 goes to Harlington Corner directly. No need to look at the timetable, they run every few minutes. ![]() Just take any of the myriad free TfL pubic bus services from Heathrow Central (second last bus stop on the main set) to Harlington Corner. However you would be mad to take the Hoppa to the Ibis. So if you take the LHR depart time, work out approx how long it takes to get to your hotel, then that's also the departure time back to terminal. Most of the Hoppas are on a loop, so they go around the hotels listed and return back to the start location (some exceptions). ![]()
