I saw one of their vans near Paddington very soon after it was launched. Then a couple of weeks ago I saw one of their posters somewhere (maybe at KX) and thought "hmm I've not seen any promotional material for this *at all*, I wonder how they get any customers". I got a flier with my tickets ordered from NXEC. I can see there might be a niche: those who want to get to Heathrow from Docklands or the City without having to get to Paddington first. But I don't know what the journey time is like. dot2dot does seem to be effectively a black cab that's just enough of a bus to allow it to use bus lanes. But it fails dismally if there are lots of you - much cheaper to get a black cab. [plays with the website] It seems to be telling me that I need to be picked up at Canary Wharf at the earliest 0600 to check in T5 at 0800 for a European flight at 1000. They specify a 15 minute window to collect you, but you can't choose this at booking. If they collect at the beginning of the window even the Piccadilly line would be quicker! Plus plenty of business travellers probably use LCY (+Continental connections) rather than LHR. Theo |
