Next month, we return home form Europe, changing planes in
London. But we arrive at Gatwick and then depart from Heathrow.

What's the best way to get from Gatwick to Heathrow? The BA
representative suggested taking the Speed Link bus? Is that best?
He said it takes an hour and a quarter. Is it usually on time or
is he being optimistic?

How often does it run? How much does it cost? Can we pay on the
bus, or do we need to buy tickets first? Can we pay by credit
card? If not, what currencies do they accept, besides pounds?
Dollars? Euros?

Or if you recommend a different mode of transport, please answer
all the same questions about it.

Thanks for whatever help you can provide.

National Express which is the largest coach/bus operator in UK has an
airport service linking Gatwick to Heathrow which is an alternative to SPEED
LINK. It used to be known as JET LINK but is now called NATIONAL EXPRESS
AIRPORT presumably to distinguish it from SPEED LINK. The bus information
is at the National Express website and this should give the times etc from
Gatwick http://www.nationalexpress.com/p.cfm?n=pai-gtw
Frequent buses and I think they are a bit cheaper than Speed Link. At
Heathrow, I think it stops at the central bus station which is then a walk
using the underground walkways to the terminals. Not too difficult unless
you have loads of luggage which of course you shouldn't have !!!
