I will do the same at the bus stop if there is a step between the sidewalk and the bus. I won't go upstairs!
stut, what about at Ealing Broadway itself? Can I roll the bag from the Heathrow Connect train to the street? If not, at least there are plenty of people at the train station. I would hope somebody might help out too. I've gotten off the tube at Ealing Common and have been the only one walking up the stairs so that's why I know that won't work.
I can't see how uber would work for me given that I'll be relying 100% on wifi and I'm not sure if I'll have wifi by the arrivals exit (or wherever uber picks up passengers). How long is the free wifi available? The car won't have wifi so I can't even add the tip. Yes, I could get cash but prefer to use my travel rewards Visa.
If you have an unlocked phone why not buy a UK sim card before you leave? That way you have a phone number and data before you get off the plane?
