Heathrow Express Reviews

I have taken the Heathrow Express so many times I have lost count, for both business and pleasure and in both standard and first class. I have been incredibly pleased with the service, and will probably never seek out another option to get from Heathrow to the city limits (unless I'm flying outside of its operating hours - 12am to 5am is ...  Read the complete review

Heathrow express really is a rip-off for tourists, you can take the Heathrow Connect to Paddington for £6.90 one way vs. £16.50 on the Express. It takes only 5 or 10 minutes more! The Connect trains (although they have aircon) may not be as lux as the Express ones but I think that the Express really cannot justify their cost for a 5 or 10 minute time saving.

This is supposed to be one of the most expensive train rides per square mile in the world. But it is so convenient, it is worth the expense. Why waste your time on a crowded smelly tube when you go in a spacious, clean and comfortable train for only 15 minutes? The service runs regularly, so you never have to rush fearing ...  Read the complete review

The Heathrow Express does exactly what it says on the tin- gets you to Heathrow from Paddington, quickly. I have taken the Express numerous times, and every time it has been on time, good service, easy to use, find, etc. The Express leaves from Paddington station (bakerloo, hammersmith & City, circle and district lines on ...  Read the complete review

I fly out and back from heathrow at least once every 15 days and nromally go there with the Paddington Express train. I take the tube to Paddington station and then come out of the stairs and go straight to the machines selling tickets, buy my return ticket for 27 Pounds with my Amex card (it goes on the expenses) and board ...  Read the complete review

Heathrow Express has some of the newest and plushest trains in the country. However, eventhough it only take 15/20mins to get to its destination, it is extortionate in price £27, and they don't seem to accept Young Persons Railcard for the 33% discount. Unlike it's Gatwick sister, the Heathrow Express doesn't allow through ...  Read the complete review

When you compare the Heathrow Express to the price of similar services elsewhere in Europe, you will see that the Heathrow Express is about five times the price that it should be. When it first opened before its official launch in 1998, I used it a few times at a cost of £5 each way. That was a reasonable fare for the distance ...  Read the complete review

At last, a train operating in Britain to Continental standards. The service to Heathrow form Paddington is a god-send. It finally allows people to get to the airport without having to catch the tube (tried that with luggage??!!). You can check in at Paddington and just jump straight on the train. The service itself seems reliable, at ...  Read the complete review

As a regular traveller I need to make my way to Heathrow quite frequently. I first discovered the Heathrow Express when the company I work for decided to send me on trips. The service runs from Paddington to Heathrow, all terminals are covered. If you are taking the tube to Paddington, try taking the Circle Line, if you take the ...  Read the complete review

Recently I had to make the short hop to visit a supplier on the outskirts of Paris. My first thought was to use Eurostar from Waterloo but the overall journey time was going to be in excess of 4 hours. So flying was our only real choice, most of my colleagues live to the west of London so Heathrow was chosen for a flight to Orly ...  Read the complete review

This train service runs from Paddington to Heathrow and I used it for the first time recently. It's a fast but very expensive way to get to the airport. The journey time is 15 mins to Terminal 1,2,3 and 20 mins to Terminal 4. This is a huge benefit if you want more time in London as the tube/buses usually take up to an ...  Read the complete review

An economy class airfare to New York can cost you as little as £183. That's approximately 5p a mile, or 41p a minute (one way). A standard class rail ticket on the Heathrow Express from Paddington to Heathrow costs £12. That's approximately £1 a mile, or 80p a minute. Hmm, which one's the better value for ...  Read the complete review
