Where to Board at Heathrow

Changes to pick-up points at Heathrow Airport

From 30th January 2006, all RailAir coaches from Heathrow to Reading will only pick-up passengers from the Central Bus Station. Coaches will no longer pick-up from Terminals 1, 2 or 3.

Coaches from Reading to Heathrow will continue to set-down passengers outside the doors of Terminals 1,2 and 3

Terminal 1

From International arrivals follow the sign for Underground and Central Bus Station. From UK and Ireland follow signs for Underground and Terminals 2 and 3, which direct you towards the lifts (then follow signs for Underground and Central Bus Station.) Use the lifts to reach the basement level.

Terminal 2

Leave the building through the doorway immediately in front of the exit from customs and follow signs for Underground and buses, which direct you towards the below-surface travelator. Alternatively, you may prefer to use the street-level access by exiting the terminal building through the revolving doors on the ground floor.

Terminal 3

Follow signs for Underground and Central Bus Station, taking the ramp or stairs to access the below-surface subway link.

Terminal 4

Use the FREE Heathrow Express shuttle service. Travel in the carriages at the rear of the train and alight at Terminals 1, 2 and 3. Follow signs for Terminals 2 and 3 but as soon as you see signs for buses and underground follow these instead.
