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?

What a badly worded page! "Watford Railair operates .5 hourly..."

Surely saying half hourly, or each 30 minutes wouldbe better. At first
glance I though it was 5 hourly!

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
A: Top-posting.
Q: What is the most annoying thing on Usenet and in e-mail?

Is it a fortnight that Capping has been in operation?

And still no complaints about it on this group?


It must be working properly then!

It is all the fault of these computer things.
They will never catch on.

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.

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

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.
