PostHeaderIcon What is the cheapest and easiest way to get from London Heathrow airport to Thorpe Park?

I am getting a plane with my friends to London Heathrow and then we are going to go to Thorpe Park. We do not have buckets of money though and we do not have a car. What is a cheap way to get to Thorpe Park from the airport? (Buses would probably be preferred as trains can cost a bomb)
cheapness is the priority
and we’re going in june i forgot to add

Cheap and easy don’t always go together.
See link for Transport for London.
Thorpe Park is closed, haven’t you checked their website?

PostHeaderIcon How to get to Alderbury of Salisbury, the U.K. from Cambridge university and back to london heathrow airport?

I’m not good at directions&want to make fewer interchanges. I’ve 2 luggages to carry with.
(1) How to get to Alderbury of Salisbury, U.K. from Cambridge university ?
Cambridge-(by First Capital Connect Train)-Kings Cross–(by Underground)-London Waterloo–(by Southwest Train) –Salisbury
or Cambridge(Madingley Rd P&R)"–(by National Express-(by bus No.JL717))-interchange at "London, Heathrow airport, Central bus station" , take another bus No. SH032 -"Salisbury,Endless Street bus station, Wiltshire".
(2) From Salisbury to London Heathrow airport?
(a)Salisbury–(by Southwest Train)-LondonWaterloo train station–interchange at london waterloo tube–London–Green Park tube (by Jubliee line)-interchange at Green Park–(by Piccadilly line)-London heathrow Airport
(b)By train:
Salisbury–(by Train)–Waterloo train station–find Paddington train station(I don’tknowwhere)–(by Heathrow Express)-Lond.heathr.Airp.
(c)Salisbury-(By NationalExpress.)–Lond.Heath.airport.
Any idea?
Someone told me to go by "National Express", is it a good way?
Is the luggage storage place located outside the bus above the wheels?,
When i get off the coach, will the driver remember to open the luggage storage cover for me to take back my luggage -(if i get off the bus, i am afraid the driver will drive away because not every passengers has luggages.)-(maybe I sit far away from the driver, i cannot talk to him at the moment i get off the coach at another door to remind him to let me take back my belongings first. (i assume that one would get off the coach at another door.)
Please forgive me for my silly questions, for i’ve never gone by coach in the uk.
In past travelling experience in package tour, the luggage storage place is located outside the travel coach.
Thanks

Hire a car. Probably be cheaper and less hassle.
If you are unsure of anything just ask the guy at the train station and there are information points at all the mainline stations.

PostHeaderIcon Travelling to London Heathrow airport next Thursday from Birmingham traveling times please?

Taking my son to Catch a flight to the USA next week from Heathrow airport (10.05am flight) next Thursday from the Birmingham area.

Need to get there a few hours before flight, how much travelling time would you sensibly allow and also finding parking spaces

Never been to Heathrow before, what will be the worst road congestion areas.

If you travel to Heathrow from B’ham on a regular basis any goods times to give me please.
Spelling error, meant any good "tips" to give me

I am a UK Travel Agent working for Co-op Travel

First, I hope you are not going to just "find a parking space" - you must pre-book if you don’t want to get fleeced. You don’t say how long you are going for, but if it is 14 days then the best parking price is £73.

You should aim to arrive at the airport around 07:00. If you are using one of the budget parks, then you must allow for being shuttled to your terminal. Frankly, I would leave B’ham at 4 am.

However, it you want a more relaxing start to your holiday, I would strongly suggest coming down the night before - you never know when an accident might block the motorway then you are in trouble. I can arrange a luxury 4 star Heathrow hotel, and 14 nights parking, for £119.

Give me a call on 02392 511568 if you are interested.
