VT members,

We will be getting off from the cruise ship at Dover, can anyone help me with transportation options from the cruise ship terminal to Heathrew airport such as train and bus? Thanks in advance.

I think the best way would be by train, first you have to get a taxi from the port to Dover Priory railway station, here you can get a train direct to London which will take about 1 hour and 45 mins, the price is about £15, from there you will have to change trains to Heathrow airport, the only thing im not sure on is which London station takes you to Heathrow so ask at Dover Priory and they will tell you where to get off.

The Dover train gets in at Victoria, then you need to get the tube/a taxi to Paddington for the Heathrow Express which goes direct to the airport several times an hour and costs apx. £10.00. The cheapest option is to go all the way to Heathrow by Tube on the Piccadilly line but you need to allow well over an hour and is probably not a great idea if you have a lot of luggage.

www.nationalrail.co.uk for train times and fares.

Thanks a lot for the information.
