The N9 sends shivers down my spine!

So you're not one of the BA crew that are often seen using this?

I like it, the traffic is usually very quiet that time in the morning (for London standards), I have to get a bus to Trafalgar Square first and then change for the N9, total cost for me £2 (two oyster singles), when I have a travelcard then it's free because the buses don't work on the zonal system.

During the daytime, getting to LHR by bus from Central London is nowhere near as easy as the good old N9. The regular route 9 doesn't go as far as LHR, even if it did then I can imagine daytime traffic to be very painful.

As I live fairly central dot2dot is another option when travelling alone at £19 to Heathrow, but for early flights I enjoy the N9 and have the comforting thought that I've grabbed a real bargain (apart from the odd times when I have a lot of luggage).
