During my student days I found it was cheaper to go west from London to places like Bristol via coach and the timetabled time difference with the train could be as low as 30 minutes to Bristol.

However if you travelled in the middle of the day it could actually take the about 5-10 minutes longer than the train.

I've only ever done it from Bridgwater & it used to go into the middle of everywhere on the way up. Took forever.....

Looks like I got the last ticket on the National Express. Good shout - only takes 2 hours, thought it stopped everywhere on the way down there.

Fly Heathrow Paris Bristol

What is shut down? Train services?

Plenty of coaches to Bristol. Although it depends on what time you landing and you might have to go to Victoria to catch the coach.

Try Uber?

When I checked out the times of trains on the Trainline last week everything was OK. Check again this morning and the whole Reading area is screwed by engineering works.

You can get National Express coaches that go Heathrow to Bristol.

Makes sense really as both mean going on M4 from London.

Coach or drive

It will always, always be the car from now on.

Should have known better....

Perish the thought there are people getting off long haul flights & expecting to head West by train.

Any of you lot got any ideas of how to get from Heathrow to Bristol tonight?

Seems that the whole Reading area is shut down & I'm looking at a 4-5 hour multi- hop journey involving buses.

WTF didn't the trainline app tell me this when I planned my journey last week...
