Traveling to Newbury
Hello, everyone! I’m excited to be visiting England for the first time this Saturday. I’ll be arriving at Heathrow and staying at a B&B in Newbury. Can anyone suggest the best way to get from the airport to Newbury? I’ve checked out the train options, but it seems a bit overwhelming. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!
Hi there! Welcome to England! The journey from Heathrow to Newbury is quite straightforward, and I’m happy to help you with it.
Train Option: The most convenient way to get to Newbury is by taking a train from Heathrow. You can catch the RailAir coach service from Heathrow Terminal 5 to Reading Station. From Reading, you can transfer to a direct train to Newbury. The train journey from Reading to Newbury usually takes about 30 minutes.
Coach Option: Alternatively, you can take a National Express coach from Heathrow directly to Newbury. This option may take a bit longer but can be easier if you have lots of luggage.
Taxi or Rideshare: If you prefer a more direct option and don’t mind the cost, you can also take a taxi or use a rideshare service like Uber from Heathrow to your B&B in Newbury. This is the most straightforward but generally more expensive.
Make sure to check the schedules in advance as they might vary depending on the time you arrive. Also, purchase your train tickets online or at the station to make it easier. Safe travels and enjoy your visit to England!
