I live north of the river, and my rail journeys to and from Heathrow
are always on the Piccadilly line. The Picc serves far more
stations in
London than Crossrail will.

It's a rather tedious way to get to and from work at Heathrow, if you
live north of Kings Cross.

Is there a better way using PT? Obviously, people who don't live
near a
Piccadilly line station might change to the line at, say, Finsbury Park.

As the Irishman asked for directions famously said "I wouldn't
start from there".

so if you have a long term job at LHR moving house seems the most
appropriate solution

What are these long term jobs of which you speak?

Working full time at the airport

If there is any "low" skilled job that has security, this has to be it.

There's still plenty of opportunity to be working for an employer who
goes broke or decide not to have a base at HR any more, or be replaced
by a machine (baggage handling a prime example).

And moving house to be near a job, especially one like Heathrow, isn't
a walk in the park.

If you already live in a different part of London it is.

Moving further than a sensible commute for the children to get to their
original school is difficult.

Hounslow is not a prime London property location

For a reason. And hence why would people want to move there?
