Heathrow terminal 5 to East Croydon via bus with luggage
I'm travelling with my wife to London, and each of us has a 23kg suitcase with wheels and a backpack.
I understand that bus routes 490 & X26 will take me from T-5 to East Croydon, but I'm worried that we luggage of this size won't be allowed on the bus. Am I right? I read somewhere that X26 has a luggage area.. can someone help confirm that?
What are my other inexpensive options?
