You can reduce the cost of the train about about £20-30 by buying a ticket from Newcastle to London then another from London to Heathrow. National Rail will often not give you the cheapest option frequently it is better to split your journey up when buying tickets even if it means staying on the same train and having multiple tickets…

Can you? I tried using TicketySplit to find split-ticket options but it couldn’t find anything cheaper.

Ah well, I’m booked now. Ta.

It might be more convenient to drive.

Megabus from Victoria coach station is 6 hours and £4 each way.

Where were you three hours ago Daffy? 🙂

How about truckertrackworld.com?

There’s bound to be a trucker with space in his cab who’d love a bit of company making the journey.

PowerPoint Hell 🙁

Reminds me of the Mock The Week episode when they saw the resemblance between the guy on the the bus and Dara O’Briain. 😆

When the company secretary/monkey cocked up my flight times, and believed the travel agent that we could get from terminal 5 to terminal 4 in 45 minutes with bags, changing airlines…..

I had to hire a car, and get to Heathrow T4 from Newcastle

Left at 12:30 was there by 5pm, dead easy. and I got to take all my oversized bags with me rather than being bummed by BA for them.

dude, just book a flight and be done. If its too much, look for earlier or later times and the price will change, usually the red eye flights and evening ones are cheaper. An extra hour or so at heathrow is easily wasted.

just book a flight and be done

Y’know, I think that might be the best option. OP, book a flight.

Cool. I predict the thread will run with suggestions for another day to two yet though

Not really sure that you can categorise a 40min flight from Heathrow to Newcastle as a red eye.
