Smiler Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Apparently the jubilee line won't be operating on Saturday between Stratford and Green Park, incl. London Bridge, with the dreaded rail bus replacement "services" running instead.The Victoria line is closed all weekend. Have got to get to Heathrow by 8.45am, urgh.

SeanMacGabhann Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 normally I would agree with Jeremy re: TaxiBut 2 dodgy traffic experiences at Heathrow the last 2 times mean I no longer trust it Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/5684-getting-to-heathrow-jubilee-victoria-line-closures-on-saturday/#findComment-182402 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pandora Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Look on lastminute or Expedia and see if you can get a cheap hotel - I had a 6.40am flight, but a hotel was only ?35 for the night, much cheaper than a taxi and I got some sleep! There's free buses during the day to most of the Heathrow hotels, and the bus in the morning costs about ?4 from the hotels to the airport.

If I was travelling on my own, I would go with my first suggestion. Personally I avoid buses as I find the timing is unpredictable, but I think we've had this conversation before!

annaj Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Just bringing this thread back to see if anyone else has any taxi company recommendations (I've had a look at airportscars.co.uk but just want to get a few alternatives if possible) for a cab to Heathrow?We need to get there for a 4am check-in so public transport is not really an option and a hotel room that we'll only use for a few hours seems a waste.Edited to say sorry Admin, I know this should be in the WO&R section, but the original thread was here and I wasn't sure if starting a new thread when one already existed on the subject was a worse EDF crime than posting in the wrong section ;-) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/5684-getting-to-heathrow-jubilee-victoria-line-closures-on-saturday/#findComment-186494 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Palaeologus Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 Not gone yet! Booked a cab for ?43. Public transport at that hour is all about night buses, fine if you are on your way home after a night on the sauce, not when you have a plane to catch.
