Is trolley free in Heathrow?

Question

I will land on terminal 5 of heathrow. Is trolley free provided? I have to carry two large luggage and two big bags...Girl I am....

Is there a train station in Terminal 5? I can buy a ticket at the train station? Need I buy a railcard? is it useful? by the way, I will live in Swansea (need change at paddington station)

Answer 1

I might add that I believe the 1 Euro coin can be used instead of a pound coin in many of the trolleys at airports - incase that helps!

Answer 2

yes the trolleys are free

there are three ways you could travel to Swansea

the Heathrow Express train brings you into Paddington Station in London, from where you can get a train to Swansea

Heathrow Express - https://www.heathrowexpress.com/index.as...

train from Paddington to Swansea - www.thetrainline.com

alternatively you can get a coach direct from Heathrow to Swansea, check out www.nationalexpress.com ... however the amount of luggage you have might be a problem as it says

"The luggage allowance for each passenger is a maximum of two medium sized suitcases weighing no more than 20kg each and one piece of hand luggage. Hand luggage must be capable of fitting in the overhead luggage racks or under seats. If you do carry more than this allowance we cannot guarantee that we will be able to accommodate the excess baggage. Space can often be of a premium and we cannot predict what luggage other passengers on the same journey may bring." ... the coach will probably be cheaper

or you could get the RailAir coach link from Heathrow to Reading railway station, which is on the London to Swansea line

I would check out all the different ways of travelling ... usually a coach takes longer than a train but in the case of the journey you want to make, having to get either two different trains or a coach and a train,  it might not be that much longer ... it might also be easier to manage the amount of luggage you have on a coach as the driver will load it and unload it for you (as long as you don't have so much luggage they refuse to take it all !)

if you're a student it would be worthwhile having a look at the Student Rail Card which will give you a reasonable discount

Answer 3

and also Yes - there is a train station at Terminal 5 - below ground , just look for the signs or ask someone you can buy a ticket in the station.
