London Travel Forum

What used to be a breeze when we were younger now rates a question on the travel forum. What's the most sensible way to get 2 old codgers with luggage from Heathrow to the Dover Terminal. If necessary,we can B&B it one night in Dover and use local taxi to get us to and fro to make cruise connections.
Thanks Guys and Gals for putting on your thinking caps.

As noted, there are several options available.

As you are in no rush, it seems daft to me to pay out for a private transfer when the National Express coach (long-distance bus) service is perfectly safe, comfortable and reasonably-priced. It is best to book your tickets in advance online though, through www.nationalexpress.com Do allow plenty of time between expected landing time and actually getting your bags/out of the airport to the Heathrow bus/coach station. You can buy tickets when you arrive but you may not be able to get seats on the first available coach.

The coach will drop you at Dover bus station, and you can then go wherever you choose: a walk or taxi to the port, or on into town for your hotel if you decide to stay the night.
