£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.
