Heathrow Express

[SimonMac]

Will ask when I get to Kings Cross but thought I would open it up to the community while I wait.

I booked a return from Leeds to Heathrow, but outbound ticket is Leeds to Ldn Zone 1-6, while the return is Heathrow Rail to Leeds, can I get on the Heathrow Express rather than having to do the whole thing on the tube?

Yes.

Just watch Runaway Train for guidance and perhaps The taking of Pelham 123

I had no idea the tube went as far as Leeds.

London Underground kidnapped me once. Well, they wouldn't let me out at the station I wanted to get out at because my train ticket only allowed me to go from Paddington to Victoria and apparently wanting to get out at Embankment and walk to Victoria represents blatant fare dodging.

My advice would be to not go to London. Nothing good can come of it.

HTH.

And, yes. But for the avoidance of doubt, the HE isn't included in the ticket price.

Yes, but you'll need to pay for a separate one-way Heathrow Express ticket.

My foreign mrs on her first trip to London managed to get lost on Circle line when it was actually a circle.

Was about 22:30, I had to catch a train to Nottingham from pre-Eurostar St. Pancras, she calls me saying it's all countryside outside and going dark........

Still don't know where she actually was, told her to get off and get the next tube the other way. She only had a Zone 1.

Not on that ticket. I can't remember how much they fleece you for a single on HE but don't expect much change from £20. Much quicker than the tube though, that will take what seems like forever.

There's a coach from Victoria....

This doesn't help answer your question but ...

I remember reading that on a pound per mile basis the Heathrow Express is the most expensive train journey in the world.

[Old Greg]

It's just under an hour on the tube from King's Cross to Heathrow 1,2,3 so you'r not going to save a massive amount of time going to Paddington then taking HE.
