If you’re coming from outside London or just want to sit back and snooze, coaches are your friend with a van. Companies like National Express and Megabus offer tickets to Heathrow from cities like Oxford, Reading, or even Bath for as little as £5 if you book ahead. Yes, five pounds—that’s less than a fancy coffee and a croissant.
The journey might take longer than a train, but hey, you can nap, read, or plan your vacation revenge on your boss. Just don’t expect Wi-Fi to be great; sometimes you’ll have to entertain yourself by counting sheep on the motorway. And bring snacks—coach station food is a gamble I wouldn’t recommend.
