Letter: Heathrow service
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: How can one of the world's busiest airports, serving one of the largest cities in the world, fail to provide a public transport service to central London after 11pm on a Sunday evening?
Together with more than 50 other travellers at 11.15pm yesterday (19 July), I was informed that the 11.34 underground service would terminate at Hammersmith. I do not expect a complete underground service late at night, but surely one can expect a central London service from Heathrow until at least 12.30? What sort of impression does this make on tourists arriving in the UK?
Yours faithfully,
