    Willie Walsh, YOTEL boss Simon Woodroffe, BBC newsreader Nicholas

    particularly at Christmas time. Whether getting to a business meeting
    in central London, jetting off to warmer climes or greeting loved ones
    arriving for the holidays, Heathrow Express gets you where you want to
    be quickly, reliably and in comfort. Season´s greetings from the great
    and the good will hopefully bring extra cheer to our customers this
