Bad weekend to get to the airport

Posted by (Freedonia) on

This weekend, the 16th and 17th of November....

There will be no Heathrow Express or Elizabeth Line trains between Paddington and Heathrow in either direction. You can take the tube but expect it to be much more crowded than usual.

There also won't be any Gatwick Express or Southern Rail service between Victoria Station and Gatwick Airport. You can get a train at London Bridge to Gatwick. If you already have tickets from Victoria they can be used on that train as well as the tube between Victoria and London Bridge.

This is all do to planned engineering works.

Yes. The Piccadilly line is one of the network of London Underground lines, usually known by the locals as the Tube. It starts one end at Heathrow so seats and room for bags is always good.

For Gatwick you can also get Thameslink trains from St Pancras, Farringdon, City Thameslink and Blackfriars.

There is also National Express bus operating on their usual frequent schedule to and from Heathrow, from Victoria.
And any number of rail or underground, then bus alternatives to Heathrow which the smart local will be using.
Those include the pre tube express bus A10 to Uxbridge Station then the tube from Uxbridge.

I do have tickets for Abba Voyager, sunday. Google Maps shows me this possible combination
Jubilee and a move to DLR. Do you think, this both will not be affected from the Railworks?

Yes. Jubilee line will be fine. You can walk from Stratford or change there for the DLR for one stop to Pudding Mill Lane station for the ABBA Arena. Walking might be worth it if you have no mobility issues and want to get something to eat in Stratford beforehand.
