There IS a railair lounge, but if it's locked and bolted it's about as useful as a chocolate fireguard.

National Express delivered exactly what they promised. The bus was clean, comortable and on time. The driver was helpful and polite and the whole experience took all the hassle out of driving to and parking at Heathrow, not to mention the costs in doing so yourself. A much more relaxing way of starting a holiday.
