Are you referring to a private car service? If so, do you mind if I ask which one you used?
When the 19% discount at the old price was available our preference would have been the HEX (for 2 of us), but with no discount at all, I'll be looking for some sort of car service.

While HEX is fast if you live near paddington and catch the train on the dot, after cabs/tube to get home and schlepping through the tunnels, and if you miss a train by 1 min., a car isn't necessarily slower unless its peak traffic time. Much more comfortable too. And if its a group, also a big saving.

) £34. So it seems there is a significant advantage to buying returns now.

After arriving at Paddington we would then have to hail a cab to get to the hotel so the extra expense of that on top of the train fare makes taking the HEX impractical.

Can a return be treated as two singles?
In the past they've been very flexible about dates and directions of travel. A ticket person told me they didn't care which way it was going.
I ask because quite often I'll get a cab for a first thing flight, but then take HEx home as I'm fairly close to Paddington and it's easier.
So the return could be a mini-carnet, for £17 a pop.

It's shockingly expensive without the discounts I must say! Having endured the Piccadilly line however I think I'll just stump up the cash this time round...

That might be handy for people this weekend with the Piccadilly line part-suspended and a big messy changeathon to get out to Heathrow.

Anybody wanting to use the HEX tomorrow around 0710 please feel free to PM me. Mrs. stifle and I will be travelling with a Gold card and a Network Railcard allowing up to 6 adults accompanying us to get £13.20 single tickets, plus four children at £2 each and four more at £3.80 each.
