How to buy for ticket from Heathrow terminal 5 to Canterbury east train station?
I will be arriving in London heathrow airport on 8.25pm, and I am looking for a train to Canterbury east railway station.
My search gives me this, however, On the status column there is a warning:
Ticket purchases & collections from London Heathrow. Through tickets from London Heathrow terminals to National rail stations where the journey begins on the Underground are not available to purchase or collect at London Heathrow.
What does this mean? And how can I purchase the ticket? I can't seem to purchase it online
Best Answer
The warning message on National Rail site means, one can only buy tickets online for the trains on national rail network. London underground tickets can not be bought online.
In your search as per the link, journey form London Paddington to London St Pancras is part of London underground. Hence ticket can not be booked.
As Jonik suggested, you can buy tickets from the ticket office at LHR for complete journey instead of booking in advance.
