to go to HRW by car now do you .


OK, let's see what possible route I have by public transport.

1. Bus into the centre of High Wycombe (every 30 mins at peak periods,
one an hour after 7pm, none after 10pm.

2. Walk from bus station to train station carrying luggage.

3. Train into London.

4. Tube or taxi from Marylebone across London to Paddington for the Hex
or a suitable tube station for the Picc.

Alternative 1.

Bus and walk as before.

3. Train to South Ruislip (or similar) then bus to Hayes then another
bus to the airport.

Alternative 2.

Bus from bus station in Wycombe to Bourne End, Bus from Bourne End to
Slough, then bus to the airport.

Alternative 3 (if it still runs).

Bus from Wycombe bus station to Slough, then bus to the airport.

Other combinations of bus/train available.

What we need is for Heathrow to be connected to the Reading and Waterloo
train lines. Then a number of huge, security patrolled park and rides at
dedicated train stations with fast journeys into the airport running
every 15 mins during the day and every 25 mins at night.

I would use it every time.

Is it going to happen? Unfortunately not.

I wish it would.
