Heathrow Express | London Paddington to Heathrow Airport - TRIP REPORT 

Great video. We'll be visiting London in a May and it sure looks like the transportation system there is way better than anything we have in the states. This video makes it much less daunting for a first time visitor, so thanks for posting it.

1:12 cool announcement

Great video, thanks for sharing!

Top video as always bud!

To be frank, the interior of the old trains were much better! The seat was more spacious and the vibe was by far more luxurious than the new trains. Sad to see them go.

Great video big help aswell

Nice vid! Subscribed

anyone no which carrage from padd to be on for wayout to terminal 2 lhr thanks

That was a very helpful video, thank you very much in May 2023 I’m travelling from Australia to London for the coronation, and I’m staying in Paddington so I’ll need to do that trip in reverse, I really hope I don’t get lost.

I wanted class 185 train to join with class 387 train too but great video

I am planning our home base near Paddington Station when we visit in 2023.

Nice Video

Also continuing my doubts.. if you are travelling with luggage.. where do you keep it on the coach?

Is it owned by GWR?

Anyone who lives or has any experience in London know if there is a 2-week pass for buses/trains/subways? I'm headed to London soon. Was debating on Amsterdam vs. London but I chose London for the number of monuments and history. Was also supposed to leave 2 days ago, then today, then it got delayed because I was about to book with an unrecommended airlines company called Norse Atlantic. Found a legit one. Anyways, I've done tons of research on where to go, where to eat, mapped out the entire city of London. I've heard of the Oyster Card before. These are trains I'm familiarizing myself with - Southern (Green), Thameslink (white and colored train), and Jubilee (red train), Bakerloo, Overground, Victoria (If I'm coming from London Gatwick Airport, headed to Marylebone Station) and I'd get off around Victoria Station and take a red bus up to the Marylebone Station area. If I'm taking the Heathrow Airport, then I'm supposed to take the Heathrow Express that will end in Paddington Station or Elizabeth Line, then walk to where I'm staying, having to walk past St. Mary's Hospital and then passing around near Regent's University London. I know the UK uses as app called Bolt which is equivalent to Uber or Lyft here in the US. Is it better to use US dollars or pounds if using a card? From what I understand, main London area is in Zone 1. How much money is safe to take out to convert to pounds? Is it convenient to get a SIM card in London? Any hostels recommended to stay? Is it convenient to just walk from the Paddington Station/Marylebone area to Central London? (Big Ben, London Eye, Buckingham Palace, Jack the Ripper Tour, Harry Potter Tour) Are there certain areas to avoid? I've been looking around north of Hyde Park which are near well-known markets like Borough Market Markets nearby to go to: Borough Market (really damn far on the other side but want to go here more than anything) Portobello Road Market (This is closeby to me) Marylebone Farmer’s Market (This is also close enough) The Covent Garden Real Food Market (Same, closeby) Whole Foods Market Nando's being a popular fast-food chain in London. And I know, I have to try certain dishes like Fish And Chips, Scotch egg, etc These are the popular monuments and areas I've gathered to visit: - Baker Street - Borough Market (damn just realized this is the most famous markey but it is all the way on the other side of the Hyde Park area) - Buckingham Palace (to see the guards in the morning) - Big Ben - London Eye on The Queen's Walk (I have to walk across the Westminister Bridge to get here.) - Soho - Westminister Abbey - British Museum - Sherlock Holmes Museum (very close to Hyde Park) - British Museum - Kensington (heard this area is dangerous at night) - Jack the Ripper tour and Harry Potter tour sounds fun but damn they're all the way up north. (Watford area) These are other places I'd like to go but damn they're far all the way on the other side of Hyde Park: - Tower of London - St. Paul's Cathedral Places I think I'll avoid at night after doing research: - Battersea - Chelsea - Tottenham - Kensington Most likely, I'll be hanging around the Hyde Park, Marylebone, Soho areas, maybe Camden Town. If I have time, I'll try and make my way to Emirates Stadium, Wembley Stadium (This one is far) Anything else? Any help would be much appreciated. This is my first alone trip and I want to be prepared beforehand.

How did you bought the ticket? Did you book it online or what? Also, are there trains running for specific terminals of the airpirt or what?

I think they did a pretty poor job at differentiating this Heathrow Express with the regular GWR services. It's a shame to see the class 332 retire, those really did have a top notch service in comparison.

Did they replace these trains? I dont remember seeing this in 2017

The world's most expensive railway. Apparently you can secure good savings if you buy tickets in advance. Personally I feel that if I buy a ticket at 2:50pm and board a train at 2:53pm that is in advance.

Thank you for this video. What mobile application or website i can buy ticket?
