Heathrow to / from Southampton By Public or Private Transport
For travellers connecting to a cruise ship at Southampton, we have a dedicated page laying out the public and private transport options available.
There is a choice of direct public transport options from Heathrow to Southern England (Dorset & Hampshire) including the main towns of Portsmouth, Southampton, Bournemouth, Winchester, Salisbury, Dorchester & Yeovil.

National Express coaches run direct services to most major towns and cities in Southern England. The National Express coach network covers nearly every town and city in England and Wales, so chances are there is a connecting bus if there is no direct service. From Portsmouth and Southampton there are ferries that cross over to the Isle of Wight.
The rail network again serves most major towns and cities in the area.

Rail Heathrow - Southern England
There is no major mainline station at Heathrow. The main railway line to Southern England starts at London's Waterloo station, and passes a few miles to the south of Heathrow.

The journey times are thus compromised by the need to take a shuttle bus to the nearest station at Woking - a 10 mile journey. The bus shuttle to Woking station visits both the central area of Heathrow and terminal 5.
Railways are privatised in the United Kingdom. You may use several companies travelling from Heathrow, but all are integrated for ticketing purposes.
Prices are very complex, normally the best fares are advance purchase, if you pay on the day it can be very expensive.

Use the 'trainline' link right - for timetables and available fares.
For overseas visitors the big problem with train tickets is that there are no true etickets at the moment, so you miss the reasonable advance purchase fares. Tickets ordered online can only be sent to UK postal addresses.
There is an option where you can order online and pickup the tickets on arrival at a special ticket machine. The big problem here is that there is no such machine at Heathrow.
RailAir Coach - Heathrow to Woking
To avoid making the time consuming journey into London, only to board a train that doubles back within a few miles of Heathrow, there is a shuttle bus which goes to Woking Station. All trains stop at Woking to the south of England. The shuttle bus journey is included in your ticket from Heathrow.
You catch this Woking RailAir bus either at the Heathrow Central Bus Station between terminals 1,2 and 3 or in front of Terminal 5. Terminal 4 passengers need to use the Heathrow Connect train between Terminal 4 and Central. This runs every 15 minutes and is free.
