THE bus shuttle service linking Canary Wharf with Heathrow Airport is up for sale.

Dot2Dot was launched in February to give Wharfers an alternative to the Tube, but owners National Express have admitted they will not continue to run it after racking up a £7million loss on the service.

A NEW transport link coming to Canary Wharf aims to make airport transfers much easier.

Dot2Dot, a subsidiary of National Express, is starting shuttle services from the Wharf.

Its fleet of minibuses will offer an alternative to Tube and taxis for people heading to Heathrow and Gatwick, operating from early morning to late evening.

With the Docklands Light Railway extension to London City Airport in the Royal Docks, opened in December 2005, air travel for Wharfers has become far more accessible recently.

However, in terms of Heathrow the Jubilee line has been hard pressed to meet passenger demand at peak times and the east to west rail link Crossrail is at least 10 years away – so the shuttle could be good news for businesses in Canary Wharf.
