So far 1 star service. Arrived at Heathrow in plenty of time to catch my bus, it's scheduled…read moredeparture time is 11:08 I arrived at the bus at 10:58 and the driver was starting to pull away. I ran up waved at him that we needed the bus, he looked me in the eyes and waived me off. Next bus is 40 minutes at least. Horrible service to leave early and ignore passengers who are relying on you to get them somewhere punctually.

Once I actually figured out where to purchase a ticket, it was excellent. Up to then, not so much…read more Part of the problem was that they don't have a pickup at Heathrow Terminal 4. Of the 5 different terminals at this airport, of course Continental Airlines uses that one. I managed to catch a free transfer and hauled my luggage onto it for the trip around the airport perimeter to Terminal 5. Once there, I figured out where to buy the ticket (there are two ticket stands and one was closed) and stepped outside to the appropriate bus stop. Small piece of luck, the bus arrived a few moments later. Excellent and extremely courteous bus driver, he put my very heavy luggage underneath without complaint and we were off. The drive to Reading was about a half hour in light traffic and I was able to entertain myself with free wi-fi on board. When we did get to Reading, he helped my drag my luggage over to the taxi stand. In the rain! Thank you! Not the most comfortable of seats, as a 6' tall American, I had to twist sideways in order to avoid banging my knees into the seat in front. I will absolutely use this service again. Strong recommendation! Save £1 and buy your ticket online.

It's also the western terminus of the Elizabeth Line, which is helpful, especially if you work in the city. I was going to say that it is the edge of London, but I suspect Reading is a separate city all of its own. Pretty cool station though.

There are any number of taxi services in Reading and it's easy enough to find one on the Internet…read morethat is happy to take you to Heathrow. The challenge is finding one that doesn't charge an arm and a leg. Abbey Cars gave me a flat rate of £40 for the trip to Terminal 4 so I booked it. The driver arrived a few minutes early and in a Mercedes C class, no less. That's not the usual treatment, I learned, but I have no complaints. He was polite and professional and a decently good driver. We got to the airport in record time and I made my flight with plenty of time to spare. Would I use Abbey Cars again? It's difficult to justify £40 when the Railair shuttle charges £17, but with the amount of luggage I had on that trip it was worth it. Especially since Railair only goes to Terminals 1, 3 and 5.

They make up their own prices! Charge 7.00 one way 9.00 back... They are awful first time I used them and NEVER will again. The driver will magic up his own price and when you call the company to confirm the driver will text the back office so they lie on his behalf to con you out of money!!! He stopped while I went to the cash point less than 1 minute and tried to charge 1.00 for waiting! Never use these people they are greedy and rude!!!!
