I thought this report deserved greater exposu

Picc train from Heathrow arrives Acton EB, -lug cases upstairs to
'waiting' bus -try to get cases on 'high floor' buses being used
(hopefully remaining downstairs)-bus then runs Acton-Hammersmith ALL
stations, -CHANGE buses in Hammersmith bus station! (cases off 1st bus,
onto 2nd bus)-2nd route running via West Kensington to WEST BROMPTON!
not even the station, but the yard in front of Lillie Bridge Depot- the
station
can't even be seen from there!-Get cases off 2nd bus, walk across
reasonably busy road into West Brompton station-down more stairs to EB
platform -then hopefully the 1st train is going to a destination you
require! or, as still no Picc at Sth Ken, it's ALL CHANGE again
somewhere else!! Imagine the reaction of tourists taking this
unfamiliar route on these
days?!


The replacement buses are intended for local journeys not for passengers
travelling from Central London to Heathrow. Anyone going to Heathrow would
be much better advised to take the Heathrow Express from Paddington on which
Travelcards are valid while the engineering work goes on.
