How about Central to Ealing Broadway, then Heathrow Connect to the
airport? JP puts that at 60-65 min. Slower than the HX, not significantly
faster than the tube, but it works with travelcards and it avoids a change
at Holborn - you have to go over a bridge at Ealing, i think, but it'll be
easier than finding your way through a maze of twisty little interchange
passages, all alike, and should be less busy. I'm not sure what the
frequency of the HC is, though

Half-hourly.

Oh, not such a hot idea then, unless you really trust the Central line.

Incidentally, when did they make Travelcards valid on Connect?

Oops. I was under the impression that they had been all along (i thought
this was part of the appeal of the service), but looking it up, i see that
they aren't. My mistake.

So, the Central + HC plan looking like a particularly bad one!
