Coach Services

1. National Express, a leading public transport provider, runs a regular bus service between Heathrow Central Bus Station (CBS) and the Victoria Bus Station (next to London Victoria railway station). Heathrow CBS is located between Terminals T1, T2 and T3. There is an underground walkway that connects the Heathrow CBS to the three terminals. The buses also stop at Terminals T4 and T5. Alternatively, you can get a free ride on the Heathrow Express and Heathrow Connect to Heathrow Central, to take the buses there.

A journey from Heathrow CBS to Victoria Bus Station takes between 40 minutes to an hour, unless there is a massive jam. An Economy Single ticket between Heathrow CBS and Victoria Bus Station is £4.00.

Passengers are allowed to carry on board 2 medium-sized suitcases weighing a maximum of 20kg each, and one piece of hand luggage that can fit into the overhead compartment. To book a ticket for the bus, go to the National Express website, www.nationalexpress.com.

Taking the local bus is a low-cost alternative for leaving Heathrow Airport. There is an extensive network of local buses that ply routes between Heathrow and the towns in west London.
