TRAINS

Trains are quite expensive and the journey may involve several changes. For example a journey from Heathrow to Torquay will take about 4 hours, and involve about 3 changes (including Heathrow Expresss). Ticket prices vary, but the most ecconomical is the walk-up Saver Return at £92. Cheaper tickets can be obtained online if you book well in advance, but you are committed to the train time booked, and your plane could be late!

The train station is a 4 minute walk from the venue "The Grand Hotel"

NATIONAL EXPRESS COACHES

This is simple and ecconomical but may take longer. For example a journey from Heathrow to Torquay will take about 5 hours and cost from £30 - £40 for a return journey, depending on the type of ticket.
