Default Heathrow Connect - can't connect !!

I never understood the real point of services from paddington. Unless you
live in or near the paddington area or routes leading into it then
you've still got to crawl around on the circle line to get there and wait
for the service to leave. By the time you've done that you could probably
be halfway to heathrow on the piccadilly line and have paid less than half
the price. Surely if they want a really useful airport service they
should extend the 3rd rail system from south of the river to heathrow
too?


If laden down with luggage (and possibly children), doing Jubilee-
Bakerloo-Paddington then Heathrow Express is well worth the extra
ten quid for speed and accessability over Jubilee-Picadilly. IMO.
