Swindon

Need to be somewhere near the station on Friday by 08:30. Coming from London along M4. Any ideas how long it would take to get from Heathrow to Swindon?

Cheers

Where abouts in London?

You're against the traffic which will help.

I'm guessing Hounslow, Feltham, Staines kind of area.

That's what I love about PH. A handbag fest, but no answer . Any ideas about timing ladies?

I would second that, especially as where your going is so close to the station.

Heathrow to Swindon, about 100 minutes or thereabouts.

[Rocksteadyeddie]

Not sure there is a direct train from Heathrow to Swindon. Would mean going to Paddington and changing albeit the trains are frequent and quick.

So what's the reason for going to Swindon?
It'd better be a bloody good one!

I'd allow a good 2 hours, i used to drive Oxford to London along the M4 and the traffic heading the other way used to be horrific some days, Jct 11 and Jct 8/9 used to be the causes.

If the traffic is good, I'd say 1hr30. Usually travelling west on the m4 in mornings is a lot better than east.

Relocated to Staines about six years ago. Seam to remember watching a documentary on TV about it.

Cheers for the times.

I am a Swindon virgin so to speak. Will the natives treat me gently? Reason for going to Swindon? got to put food in my mouth.

Cheers all.

I'd allow two hours. I currently live near Heathrow, just 2 miles from the M4, but it can sometimes take the best part of an hour just to get past the madness of outer London / M25. Once you're clear of that, it should in theory, (accident and sudden roadworks permitting), be less than an hour. Hope that helps.
