Heathrow Express

Just thought I would let you all know I tried the new Heathrow Express rail-link earlier this week.

It was great.

It takes 15mins to get you to/from Heathrow Terminals 1,2,3. And an extra 5 minutes to/from T4.

The train is great with video screens showing the latest BBC news, and there is loads of room.

The train arrives at Paddington. Cost is single £10 (Express Class) £20 (First Class), which is a bit steep, but well worth it for the time saved.

You can buy your ticket from machines which accept foreign currency as well as sterling or on-board.

My advice, if you are arriving/leaving central London for Heathrow give it a try. It is a nice relaxing and QUICK way to get to the airport.
