I am trying to do the decent thing and find out about bus services to
Heathrow but I am getting tired of being directed to 0990 telephone
numbers or web sites that are not available. Surely the world's busiest
airport has a site that tells me how to get from Watford to Heathrow.
If only using public transprt was the panacia that the enthusiasts
would have us believe.
Does anybody know of a good site as I don't have all day to google
this.

Thanks

Managing Without Opera. It's the third week of the experiment. How are
Hannah and Gavin coping? Why is their sitting-room pale green? Why can't
they laugh without showing their gums? What's on the other side?

Also here is the pdf timetable for Arriva (Green Line) service 724:

which is another service between Watford and Heathrow.

Well, if you want a scenic ride around West London, there's always the
140 from Harrow & Wealdstone station to Heathrow Central Bus Station.

As others have said

Green Line 724 runs direct
There is the Virgin Rail Link Bus.

Or you can try TfL bus 140 to Harrow Bus Station and then the 258 to
Watford. There is also a 350 from Harrow to Watford but you will pay a
higher fare than on the 258 as it is an Arriva commercial service.

www.busmap.co.uk has all the timetables for the above if you select the
timetables section.

The TfL journey planner also did a passable job at bringing up a journey
option OK using the 724.

It's not the world's busiest airport, that's Atlanta, followed by
Chicago. LHR has more passengers at its international terminals than any
other airport [has at its international terminals], which is the basis
of their rather dodgy claim.

I thought the basis of its claim was that it has the greatest number of
journeys starting and ending, whilst a significant proportion of
Hartsfield-Jackson's passengers are merely in transit.

....which you could couple with a trip on the 258 to Watford Junction.

No, it's purely the numbers of passengers taking international flights
(a majority at LHR, a minority at ATL).
