Hi all,

Please show the solution for poor Japanease.
I would like to know the best connection of Heathrow airport and Cambridge.

Now I am in Frankfurt to meet my friend, but I really want to re-visit UK, especially Cambridge. About 10 years ago, I stayed the place for a while, now I cannot back to Tokyo without seeing former dormitory. Then I got tickets to Heathrow of 10th evening, and have to back Germany on 12th morning.


When I was young, I went Cambridge via London using bus. It was almost one day trip from Heathrow, via London,to Cambridge. Please show me the short-term trip to Cam, if it exists.

Masa-san,

I think the best way from Heathrow to Cambridge is still by bus, but it doesn't take all day now! The Jetlink 787 or 797 is direct. You can check times/dates etc here: National Express coaches and you can book it on the internet. It takes about 2hrs 30mins and they go every half hour.

Regards,

Peter

Does it have to be a flight into Heathrow? If not, it may be easier to fly Ryanair from Frankfurt Hahn to "London" Stanstead. National Express show a journey time from Stanstead to Cambridge of around an hour with departures every hour or so.

Dear Bob, Peter, and Steve,

Thank you very much for kindly and informative statements. I alredy payed ticket fare, have to go to Heathrow. Then direct pass by express Bus is the solution.

Ryanair also provide a connecting bus service from Frankfurt railway station and the airport to Hahn airport. The journey takes around 90 minutes.
