Thanks Death. She did smoke, but quit about 25 years ago.

My lovely wife has many wonderful qualities, but finding her way around on her own just isn't one of them. Although she's lived here in the Washington DC area all of her life, whenever she happens to drive around the area on her own, it often results in calling me on the mobile phone to find...

I had looked into National Express Bus service, but it seemed to take a long time as I recall, with a change at Victoria Bus station in London. Also, I thought that we would have to book seats on a specific bus to ensure that seats were available for us when we arrived, and that can be a tricky...

If it were just me, or if I were traveling with my wife, I would have chosen rail, as I have many times in the past. However, trusting my luggage-encumbered wife to find her way from Kings Cross to Heathrow on her own, would be a situation that would certainly be extremely stressful for her...

Thanks

We are flying Virgin Atlantic and will be arriving at Terminal 3. An additional question then. My wife will be staying for an additional 10 days to visit with our friends up in the Newcastle area. She will be flying BA between Heathrow and Newcastle, thus necessitating a transfer between...

Thanks again. That Picadilly line car looks like it would be nice if we could get our group into one end. Also, I do recall that a lot of the journey that I took to Waterloo was above ground. This will be great because for a few of our group, this is their first visit to Great Britain and I'm...

Thanks everyone for the great information, it is certainly appreciated. That Groupsave sounds fantastic. That's a good savings. I'm still undecided on whether to use the Heatrow Connect or the Tube. I once took the tube from Heathrow to Waterloo, but that was on my own and I was 14 years...

On Friday July 9th, nine of us will be arriving at Heathrow (at 7:05) for a Baltic cruise leaving from Dover the next day on the 10th. We didn’t want to use the bus service provided by the cruise line, but instead make our own way to Dover. We will be taking the Heathrow Connect to Paddington...

Thanks for the great info. We've been to Great Britain many times, but mostly in the north where we have good friends. Since we were going to be in Dover, I thought it would be a great opportunity to see Canterbury for the first time. I don't mean to slight Dover (we will see some of it), but...

In July, a group of nine of us from the US will be taking a Baltic Cruise out of Dover. We will be arriving in Dover the day before the ship leaves. Canterbury is just a short hop from Dover and I might suggest to the group that we pop up there for walk-around and maybe dinner. How far out of...

Thanks.

Two questions: When is this supposed to happen? Nine of us will be flying in from the US in July and I much prefer the more reasonable fares of the Heathrow Connect. Will this Crossrail provide comparable service to the Heathrow Connect?
