    Heathrow T4 access

    Bit of a niche one, not found any answers via google so thought I'd try here! I seem to recall that you can't walk to the terminal from the street. Are the walkways from Premier Inn/ Hilton to T4 easily accessible to the public, or hotel guests only? And even if officially hotel guests only...

    Avanti - forced to excess fare

    I was travelling from London to Liverpool yesterday on an off peak return with a two together railcard. Unfortunately the other half of my railcard caught Covid and so couldn't travel.

    Looking at traveling next Saturday. The Super Off Peak return with a railcard is priced at £16.50. Is this valid on any train all day Saturday?

    Firstly, apologies for starting another thread, I am aware there are a couple but I didn't want to hi-jack anyone else's. I currently commute Hanwell to West Drayton using a zone 4-6 travelcard on Oyster - I use buses a fair bit outside of work so this probably works out better value for me...
