I'm trying Satuday Sept. 22 at 12 noon returning Monday Sept 24 at
13:00. The national rail site is posting a message that they are having
problems with the site and some features are disabled.
Our planes both arrive at Heathrow at 8:30 so we could possible catch an
earlier train but we feel more comfortable having plenty of time.
Thanks for the help. |
