From what I can see it's ~1:45 changing at Farringdon for Thameslink, which is longer than than NX, but they're more frequent and using Oyster with a railcard is an order of magnitude cheaper.
You’ve got it pretty much bang on, much quicker on the coach (typically 45-50 mins from T5 to LGW S) but more frequent on Crossrail. Advance coach tickets are much cheaper than on-the-day purchases. Only other thing to note is that the
other route, i.e. bus to Feltham and train via Clapham, is both still available and as convenient as ever.
