Because I didnot found a Flight from Lisbon till Birmingham AirPort ( no available connections)!
So, I'm planning To fly till Gatwick or Heathrow airports, and then take a train.
My question is This is available? There are train connections till Gaydon ? Could you advise me the correct connections and also the transit time from airport till Gaydon?
Thanks in advance for your informations.
Cheers
Carlos

Can you get a flight to Stanstead or Luton?
Both are on the right side of London.
When do you plan to fly? I might be able to offer a Minor Limo service as I'm going too :)

There does not appear to be a railway station at Gaydon, so it will have to be nearest station and then taxi (or a nice person in a Minor meeting you). Heathrow to Coventry or Royal Leamington Spa is 2 - 2.5 hours and costs about £12.

You can try different stations using this web site: http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/
Another option might be coach travel.

To help you find Gaydon, the post code is CV35 0BJ

There is also a road run from near Oxford to Gaydon - you might be able to hitch a lift with someone on that. Presumably you will want overnight accommodation too? I think that you will enjoy the museum and the Minors. I hope that the arrangements work out for you.
