# Coordination of transport from Heathrow to Reading (and back) **Category:** [Confs & Events](https://discourse.openehr.org/c/conferences-events/26) **Created:** 2024-10-29 06:20 UTC **Views:** 248 **Replies:** 18 **URL:** https://discourse.openehr.org/t/coordination-of-transport-from-heathrow-to-reading-and-back/5867 --- ## Post #1 by @birger.haarbrandt Hi all, like @KBarwise suggested, I think it makes lots of sense to share the shuttle/taxi from the airport to the event location. I will make a start: according to my schedule, I will arrive at 14:20 on Monday. So please feel free to send me a message if you arrive about the same time. Also, if anyone knows the typical size of the shuttle (or is it just a taxi/uber?), it would be helpful. --- ## Post #2 by @Leo Hallo everyone, my colleague and I will arrive at 10.20 am on monday. Feel free to get in touch so we can share an Uber or taxi. --- ## Post #3 by @telarana Plane Arrival: Monday - 21:20 from Brussels. Plane Departure: Wednesday - 17:50 to Brussels. Feel free to get in touch if arrival and. departure time somehow matches to share taxi/uber. wim.vandendael@cronos.be --- ## Post #4 by @shazg Hi I know there may be underground strikes in London but trains from Heathrow to Reading don’t appear to be affected as these are overground. Tickets are available on line if you prefer this means of travel. Looking forward to seeing you at the conference.

Let me know if anyone would like to share a taxi to the venue! Best and see you all soon, Remko Schats --- ## Post #7 by @Leo we are interested --- ## Post #8 by @siljelb I'm travelling on Sunday 3rd, and will arrive at Gatwick airport at 08:35. I'll probably go directly from Gatwick to Mortimer via Reading, arriving at Mortimer just before 13:00. If the weather is as beautiful as the current forecast, I might try to find a nice route to walk the ~3 km to Wokefield. If anyone is arriving around the same time and would like to join, feel free! :D --- ## Post #9 by @varntzen As Sharon mentioned, trains are available from Heathrow to Reading. Elizabeth line as one example: [Elizabeth line | Heathrow](https://www.heathrow.com/transport-and-directions/by-rail-or-train/elizabeth-line) How to pay: [Contactless and mobile pay as you go - Transport for London](https://tfl.gov.uk/fares/how-to-pay-and-where-to-buy-tickets-and-oyster/pay-as-you-go/contactless-and-mobile-pay-as-you-go?intcmp=55539) To plan the journey: [Plan a journey - Transport for London](https://tfl.gov.uk/plan-a-journey/) Go green, take the train :slight_smile: --- ## Post #10 by @RemkoSchats Hi all, I made a WhatsApp group for sharing a taxi to and from the venue in Readings. I guess it will be easier this way to organise something! If we are with many we can save costs and already meet each other beforehand.
