Default "Heathrow and Gatwick airports: Ministers mull rail link" (twixtthe two)

Or 15 mins by Heathrow Express from Paddington?


People have a choice, and lots still use the tube.


When I use Heathrow getting to the airport depends on whether I arrive
at Euston, Marylebone or Paddington.

If I use Euston then I tend to just use the Piccadilly line (Tube) all
the way whereas the other two are obviously handy for Heathrow
Express.


From Marylebone, you might gain as little as 8 minutes by using HEx
instead of Bakerloo-Piccadilly. It might be "obviously handy" for HEx,
but it's not obviously value for money.
