no stops in between but very expensive, I can see Romber wasting their money on this

--- Quote --- Was it the Heathrow Express? The Heathrow Express takes you from Heathrow to Paddington Station in 15 minutes. It's high speed train with no stops in between. It is quicker than taking the Underground into the city though it is relatively more expensive. From Paddinton you can catch the District or Circle lines and get to other trains and parts of London. If I recall the train is white with purple stripes maybe? They are new trains and not the shoddy looking Underground trains.
Otherwise the other way out of Heathrow by Underground is the Picadilly line. I think it takes like 30-60 minutes or so from Heathrow to central London if I recall.

Tube Train/London
Chateau d If:
Nice work, Puddin, on nailing down the Heathrow Express to Paddington. And I have even ridden it. It broke down halfway into town and we sat for 2 hours.
I also went on the Eye and, yes, you can get tix in advace for set times.
Here is some speculation: I bet they have to ride the eye and as it goes up and around they are supposed to find something. What they are looking for is that Town Crier guy who is over on the bridge across from Big Ben.
From pix of the Millenium Dome I can't see where the bus-driving open space could be. The dome has the river on three sides and factories on the forth. But in the screen caps it looks far away so maybe the Roadblock location is on the opposite side of the river.

I completely forgot about that Town Crier, but it would be extremely difficult (I would imagine) to find one specific person when you're that high up. And also, if its part of the Mystery Task with Sherlock, why doesn't U/J and M/G have the things Romber are carrying around
