Heathrow Express cabins are level with the platform, making it easier to get your luggage onboard. All cabins are climate controlled and include modern, accessible toilet facilities.
A one way ticket in Express Class is £16.50 and a round trip ticket is £32.00, if purchased from the ticket office or machine from London Paddington to Heathrow Airport. The upgrade is offer is only valid with online bookings.
