Not only is is possible, you can also do it 1) in style and 2) heavily subsidised by the taxpayer...

It looks nice but it still has to travel on the same single track line through Hereford and Shropshire countryside and my track record (pun unintended) travelling that route isn't very encouraging.

With a German aircraft (Dornier 228) and German crew. :D Last time I flew back from Cardiff the pilot decided to entertain/frighten drivers on the A55 by flying very low following the road across Anglesey . In adverse weather you could be diverted to Hawarden near Chester.

Thanks for all the advice.

Didn't want to carry my heavy luggage in the Tube. Ended up taking Heathrow Express to Paddington and taken a cab (£10) to Euston!

Thanks for posting the follow-up info. I would have guessed the cab would have been more. Glad that it all worked out for you.
