Ah... Arrival at Heathrow and the usual 400 mile trek to get from Terminal 1 to Terminal 4! At least I had my bags checked all the way through to Perth so didn't have that to worry about. Even better on arrival at T4 I found that I didn't have to go through security checks again - excellent!
I still had about 3 hours before my Quantas flight despite the delay up in Aberdeen so that left me plenty of time to wander the duty free shops, enjoy a drink and some fine food!
The flight actually left on time (well, close enough!) and I was well on my way to Australia...

I was lucky with the travel all round really - looks like the trains and roads haven't fared much better since the rugby last weekend... Heh, heh, heh...

Subject: URGENT TRAVEL NEWS FROM THE BBC

England supporters awaiting the arrival of the 'Grand slam express'
are advised that due to a points failure and subsequent derailment at
Murrayfield, the 18.12 from Edinburgh has been cancelled.

Further bad news as the A1 south has been blocked by a large number
of wheel less chariots. Police advise that any owner of a vehicle
unable to swing low, should call Scottish emergency services on 0900-
GETITUPYEEZ, and await the arrival of someone coming for to carry
them home. Kind locals are believed to be keeping distressed England
supporters supplied with large amounts of humble pie, although sour
grapes are available if necessary.
