emmaroo Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Hi I am flying into Terminal 4 at Heathrow on Wednesday but need to get to Terminal 1 to get my flight up to Edinburgh. Has anyone done this transfer and if so, how easy is it? how long does it take? I have had a look at the website bus not tell you much. Thanks in advance Emma :cute: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fleabo Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Hi I am flying into Terminal 4 at Heathrow on Wednesday but need to get to Terminal 1 to get my flight up to Edinburgh. Has anyone done this transfer and if so, how easy is it? how long does it take? I have had a look at the website bus not tell you much. Thanks in advance Emma :cute: Yes - done similar myself, but before T5 opened - so may be it has changed. Surprised there is not more info on the BAA website. For what it is worth, they ran a bus service across (under) the airfield. Bus ride takes about 15 minutes, but you used to have to allow 75-90 minutes for the transfer. It is no bother - keep your eyes open for 'Flight Connections' signs and follow these. You don't leave the airside. If you do by mistake, I think you can take the tube from T4 to T1-3, and there may be an external bus service too (which in the dim and distant past I had to take by not noticing the flight connection signs and wandering into arrivals). Safe journey! It has all changed - please ignore my post entirely! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Lass Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 I last did this during heavy snowfall early on a Tuesday evening in 2008 and if memory serves, it took the best part of an hour to transfer from terminal 1 to terminal 4 by bus. For a good half of the journey we had the company of a pickled tramp whose temperament was pleasant but his odour was not! The bus was also packed with people so it was a tight squeeze but we all got there in one piece and with both stations very easy to find it was as close to a door-to-door service as you could get. Hopefully the service has improved since then! I hope you have a safe and uneventful trip back to Edinburgh :hug: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emmaroo Posted March 10, 2010 Author Share Posted March 10, 2010 Hi Just to update. Done the transfer and it was simple!. It only took about 12 mins on the bus and as I say it was very easy. Very well sign posted. Thanks Emma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
