Starting at heathrow
hi
im planning to start on the 5:02 at terminal 4. and from peoples experiance does this leave on time allowing for the connection at 123. as when i last did a full network on fart day an early morning heathrow closure at 123 because of a road tunnel fire caused us to have a delayed start. is it usually on time leaving?
thanks

Re: Starting at heathrow
We have used this train, with a 50:50 success rate.
If on time, the 5:02 gets to T1-3 at 05:07, plenty of time to catch the 05:11 to T5.
However, on our first attempt, over-running engineering works meant the train turned up 10 minutes late!

Re: Starting at heathrow
Used this a couple of times and was ok. Last time from Hatton Cross; T4 at 5.03; T123 at 5.08 but the cross platform change is quick so does allow for a bit of late running. Have considered checking the departure boards for T4 on one of the travel phone apps for a few days to see how it runs, not sure if that would help but of course on the day....

That's the day before R15 isn't it? Because if it is I would quite like to do it however I don't know where to stay overnight when I finish at chesham, any ideas? As I will probably stay in the easy hotel near heathrow before CIN attempt but not sure about when everything finishes

Re: Starting at heathrow
I didn't realise that, I will try and work it out then as it sounds like quite a good day to do. In theory I should be done before last train (hopefully)

and the N18 provides a link from HOTH to Baker Street and Trafalgar Square (via Wembley Central and Westbourne Park).

This is a Central line train to "Woodford via Hainault"- sadly, not no more!

Re: Starting at heathrow
The 0502 doesn't connect if the driver takes a long comfort break which delays the train. >_>

Re: Starting at heathrow
T4 is also hopeless for a finish if you are inside GWR time with 2 stations left, wonder if it was the same driver.......tractakid wrote:The 0502 doesn't connect if the driver takes a long comfort break which delays the train. >_>
