As luck would have it, I'm arriving at Heathrow on Thursday 6th August, the day of the tube strike. I have booked my onward journey to Grantham from Kings Cross two hours after I arrive. I have tried to tweet/Facebook Heathrow express asking if their trains are running, as I can obviously book online with a bit of a discount. If the Heathrow Express or the Underground is not running, and I have to rely on buses, I'm hoping I'll make my next train, otherwise I'll be liable for a walk up fare. My questions are: Are the airport trains affected, has any body experienced the situation earlier this month and how much time would I need to get to Kings Cross by bus, and, if so, if I miss my booked fare to Grantham, am I entitled to some sort of compensation if matters were completely out of my control? Thank you in advance for any help!
