surfy_sah Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 a note about the free buses! you MUST tell the bus driver when boarding that you are getting off within the Perimeter Road area to ride for free and DO NOT SWIPE YOUR OYSTER CARD otherwise you will automatically pay £1.30 Oyster fayre! because these buses go on past the "ride free area" to little towns etc, they will not tell you you can ride for free! not sure how the free buses work to Chevron at the Rad because, a few LFACCs/EMSs ago, some of the crew stayed at the Rad and the rest at the Sheritan "opposite" the Thistle and we had to PAY to get on the bus even though both these hotels are within the Perimeter Road "ride free area" think will email TFL and check surfy sah xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alidane Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 (edited) I'm living near LHR, so can shed light on the ride free area. Buses that depart from the terminal central area or T5 (105, 111, 140, 285, 423, 350, U3 and a couple more) are free between the airport and Harlington Corner (that's where the "round" Holiday Inn is). So if you want to go to the Edwardian on Bath Road, then just tell the driver when you board. You do not have to pay then. I think the nearest stop for the Radisson Edwardian is New Road. That would be a free ride on a TFL bus departing the terminals. However, if you're trying to board buses that are only transiting the LHR area (not terminating/starting their route at a terminal) on Bath Road to go somewhere else within the airport area, you might find that they are not free. E.g. bus 81 or 222. Edited December 17, 2011 by Alidane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
