Our family of four was so excited about our upcoming trip to UK next week. It is our first time to visit the country and friends here. However, planning this trip is far more difficult than what we have imagined. We bought the global pass saved all the journeys to the app. Unfortunately, we learned that the strikes will affect our train schedule.
We will arrive Heathrow terminal 3 on 20 July at 6pm and want to take a train to Cambridge directly. We would like to know
- how long does it normally takes to get through the custom and security at Heathrow?
- Will there be any train from airport to Cambridge on the night of 20 July?
We planned to go to Birmingham to Cambridge on 22 July. There is only a few trains on the National Rail available. Since we cannot book or reserved these trains via global pass. We are afraid that all the seats will be sold out .
We have booked hotels in Cambridge and Birmingham and hope to follow our original plan as far as possible.
Hope to hear your advice.
