How much of a pain is this transfer?
Depends on how much you're willing to spend and how you're willing to travel. After an expensive cab ride, the next fastest and most direct option would likely be the National Express bus service (assuming your transfer isn't in the midst of rush hour). 5.5 hours will be more than enough time in any case.
