Heathrow Express · Heathrow ExpressHeathrow Express

From

Terminals 2 & 3 and Terminal 5; Terminal 4 by a free four-minute transfer train

To

London Paddington, and nowhere else

Luggage

Racks throughout; it is built as an airport train.

Journey

15–21 min

£26.00 against £5.90 on the Underground is 4.4 times the fare to save about 35 minutes — roughly £34 an hour, before you count what the cap would have saved you.

It does not count towards the daily cap. TfL states that Heathrow Express journeys "are not included in caps and Travelcards", so a same-day return is £52.00 and caps at nothing.

It goes to Paddington and nowhere else. If Paddington is not your destination, add a further journey and its fare to everything above.

Terminal 5 adds five or six minutes to the quoted fifteen — the operator says six, the airport says five.

The first departure from the airport is not stated here: the operator publishes the first train from Paddington at 04:34 Monday to Saturday and the last from Terminal 5 at 23:57, but does not publish a first departure from the airport itself.

From

Heathrow Terminals 2 & 3 or Terminal 4 rail station; changing at Liverpool Street

To

Stansted Airport station, under the terminal

Luggage

Racks at the ends of the Elizabeth line carriages; racks at the ends of the Stansted trains.

Runs

05:21–22:25

Journey

84–95 min

Change at Liverpool Street: TfL's planner allows 18 to 21 minutes between the trains, and the Stansted trains leave every 15 to 30 minutes.

Only a contactless card or phone pays the TfL fare; a paper ticket from Heathrow to Stansted is not priced here. The coach is cheaper (from £21.30) and about as quick, but runs about a dozen times a day.
