The transportation is super fast and you can get from the airport to the city without stress. The train was super punctual for me, which I think is really important, especially if you have a flight or an appointment. You're also totally flexible because the trains run often and you don't have to wait long. I also found the free Wi-Fi really cool, so I could listen to music and write messages during the journey. All in all, a really relaxed and modern way to travel.

The trains run frequently and depart from central London, with very convenient public transport connections to the station. The carriages are spacious and comfortable, with plenty of room and comfortable seating. There are USB charging sockets available, which is very helpful. Since there are only a few stops along the way, the journey to the airport is relatively short and efficient.

It was very easy, especially for those traveling and still have half a day to visit the city, making everything straightforward and on time for the airport. While living in the moment and enjoying the Christmas spirit in London with my daughter, I will definitely use this service in the near future; it will be our Hogwarts Express!
