Britain’s most expensive railway has finally realised that with Heathrow Connect, impending Crossrail links to Heathrow that their exorbitant fares will no longer be tolerated. So they have now released a series of advance purchase fares which reduced the possible one way fares from £26.50 (buy on board) to £6.99 (buy 90 days in advance) – which drops to £5.50 each way when bought as a return.
Although you do have to commit to the exact day of departure, if you buy a return ticket you can use the return leg any day within one month of the outbound leg.
So, if you’ve already booked your flight tickets from Heathrow, get your Express tickets booked for not much more than the tediously slow Piccadilly Line tube journey…
