Still tempted to Circle Line to Paddington, then Heathrow Express...


You have more spare money than I do, evidently. I don't believe it's
worth the £14.50-£17.50 fare [1] unless (a) one starts from a point
close to Paddington, and (b) one has multiple heavy bags.


You forgot: (c) one can claim it back on expenses or (d) one gets PRIVs,
so only has to pay £3.90 Single or £7.25 Return in "Express" Class


Aha - that's interesting. Is the priv reduction applicable for LT / TFL
PTAC holders or just former BR / current TOC employees?

The Picc Line is typically more convenient but it is worth knowing if I
can get a Priv rate should the need arise.
