STAFF at Heathrow Airport have welcomed a package of extra buses to help colleagues travelling to and from the site.

The new services, announced today, have been set up by Green Line operator Reading Buses in partnership with Heathrow. They start from Sunday, March 13.

“This is good news for Heathrow’s colleagues and passengers,” said Matthew Wooll, route development lead for Heathrow Airport.

“Getting to and from the airport very early in the morning and late at night is essential for many people and bus and coach services are one of the most sustainable ways to do so.”

Green Line 703 connects Bracknell with Heathrow T5 via Windsor, Slough and Colnbrook running hourly every day.

Two new morning journeys, from Slough to Heathrow, have been introduced at 3.26am and 4.26am. An additional late journey from Heathrow T5 to Windsor runs at 11.30pm.

Mr Wooll added: “The Green Line 703 is an important part of the public transport network, providing links to education, employment, shopping and leisure facilities.

“The service helps to make Heathrow and the local communities a great place to live and work.”

Reading Buses CEO Robert Williams said that he is delighted to work with Heathrow to enhance the Green Line 703 service.

“Adding these extra journeys strengthens our network in the Thames Valley and provides extra choice to those looking to travel to and from the airport,” he said.

“This is also great timing as we are in the process of launching two low emission, high-spec British built Alexander Dennis double deck buses onto the route.

“Featuring new dedicated Green Line branding for Windsor and Heathrow, the buses will also provide high back leather trimmed seats, wood effect floors, free Wi-Fi and USB charging.”

Heathrow staff can still also get 50% off a simply Slough and Windsor 28-day ticket under a deal that was introduced by Reading Buses during the pandemic.

This offer is available exclusively through the Green Line mobile app for £31 – valid Heathrow ID is required when boarding the bus.
