Best route from Heathrow to Hendon

Total cost £4 in cash or £1.80 using PAYG. You've got one escalator to get up from the low level concourse to the bus station at Heathrow and level transfer at Harrow Bus Station. Sorry for yet another reply but I noticed something and thought I should comment (again!). The total cost if paying in cash (as opposed to Oyster PAYG) for two bus journeys could be just £3.50 if the passenger manages to buy a one-day Bus Pass. Said one-day Bus Pass is valid 0430 to 0429 so there's no peak/off-peak divide to worry about. The unwary should be warned that these tickets cannot be purchased on- board a bus. They can however be bought at all 'Ticket Stops' (i.e. the many newsagents and local shops that sell TfL tickets); from Tube station ticket offices and self-service ticket machines; from roadside ticket machines near bus stops where they are provided (which is only at some bus stops [1] - note that these machines do not give change); and from TfL Travel Information Centres (such as the one at Heathrow opposite the entrance to Heathrow Central tube station - a very handy resource because it's likely you'll get served quicker there than at the station's ticket office). In this particular instance the saving would only be 50p, but if Oyster-less passengers are intending to make two bus trips in one day they'd be well advised to buy a one-day pass instead which would obviously afford them the benefit of total flexibility in their bus travels that day. ----- [1] All bus stops in the central London pay-before-you-board area feature these roadside ticket machines. |
