From

Runs

05:00–23:30

Journey

50 min

It is the slowest of the three trains at about 50 minutes, and it stops everywhere. What it buys is £20.10 kept and a fare that counts towards your daily cap.

There is no off-peak fare on this journey. Landing at a quiet hour saves you nothing, which is not true of any other Zone 6 station.

The Night Tube runs on Friday and Saturday nights only, and not to Terminal 4.

From

Rail stations at Terminals 2 & 3, Terminal 4 and Terminal 5

To

Paddington, continuing through Bond Street, Tottenham Court Road and Liverpool Street

Luggage

Racks at the ends of the carriages; the trains are built for it.

Runs

05:21–00:12

Journey

40–45 min

It is the weakest value of the three on time alone: 2.5 times the Underground fare to save about ten minutes. It is also the option the airport promotes hardest.

The airport quotes this journey at "£13.90" on its own page. TfL, which sets the fare, charges £14.60 to Paddington and £15.50 beyond.

The airport states the journey as "under 40 minutes" on one page and "under 45 minutes" on another.
