The parts people get wrong. Each one links to where we checked it.
Easy to get wrong
There is no direct train between the two airports - a rail itinerary would require going into central London and back out again on a different line, so this coach is genuinely the fastest and most direct surface option despite covering the M25 orbital motorway rather than a more scenic route.

Hours
Journey time varies with traffic - National Express's own materials describe under an hour as achievable but also cite averages closer to 1 hour 20 minutes, so a traveller with a tight connection should not assume the fastest-case time.
