FARES & TICKETS

Tickets for all coaches can be bought from the ticket office at Heathrow central bus station (06:00 - 22:10) or online. Ticket machines are also available 24 hours a day. Passengers using Terminal 5 will find a National Express ticket office inside the terminal, in the international arrivals area.

Where to catch coaches

  • Terminals 2 and 3: All coach services call at the central bus station, which is a short walk from the terminals and has lifts, escalators and moving walkways to help with the journey. The bus station is open 24 hours a day and the travel centre is open from 06:00 to 22:30.
  • Terminal 4: Coaches arrive and depart from Stops 13 and 14 outside the terminal, at arrivals level. Free transfers to the central bus station and Terminal 5 can be made from Stop 7.
  • Terminal 5: Coaches arrive and depart from Stops 9-15, outside the terminal at arrivals level. Reading RailAir, Oxford Express and Woking Railair services operate from Stops 9 and 10. Local buses and free transfers to the central bus station and Terminal 4 use Stops 4 to 8.

When to use the coaches services

  • When you have a lot of luggage but don’t want to carry it on the tube or bus.
  • When you are a big group of people traveling together and don’t want to arrive separately.
  • When you want something slightly cheaper then a cab, minicab or Uber without the hassle of public transport.
  • When you are traveling outside London and want a reasonable way to get there.
