I would like to use the Elizabeth line from Heathrow to Liverpool Sta. will it go direct or will I have to get off at Paddington and switch trains to continue east to Liverpool Sta?

Visited London last December ,your videos did help in understanding the transportation service how ever you should mention cost of tickets 🎫,full day pass & how to buy a oyster pass and top off using app 😅

Some taxis can take 6 passengers, although fitting the luggage in might be a bit awkward, but then again, maybe not.

I’m sure you mean well, but for many people, this video is of very limited help. This video is for people arriving at terminal 3. There are 4 terminals at Heathrow. Those arriving at terminals 2 or 3 might find this video useful, but those arriving at terminals 4 or 5 might get confused. Plus, you forgot to mention the coach service, the bus service and the 4-wheeled transport.

Thank you for this super helpful video, I really appreciate it! I now know which rail option suits me best

Where do you go to get to the taxi/uber pick up area if you are arriving at Terminal 3 ?

ELIZABETH LINE LOOKS SO GORGEOUS 😍 🚉

And how long did you walk from baggage claim to platforms? 😅 like 30 minutes or more?

Hello what are the stops for Elizabeth line?

I can't wait to go in the fall!!!

Leaving in 10 days and your video is helping me feel so much more confident. I've watched a few and yours are the most succinct with clear instructions. Thank You!

Thank you🙂

What is the reason you have to tap your card before and after please

Very helpful! Might want to add two things (1) Heathrow Express has discounts for advance purchase and for two people who are traveling together (I paid £55 for two people, round trip), and (2) the Piccadilly trains, while the cheapest, are really old, don't have a lot of space for luggage, and don't have air conditioning (that is all supposed to change in 2025)..

I’m planing to visit London and I stumbled across your videos.
Thank you so much for those very informative videos it’s brilliant, you did us( travellers) a favour.
Also your details is the first video that explains and shows what to expect.

Traveling is exhausting and difficult to concentrate after you landed, this put everyone’s mind at ease. Thanks again!! 🙏🙏

Which train to take if we are going to dover?

What is the best option for a group of 6? A van? How much would it cost?

May want to mention that in your video you start from Terminal 3. Terminals 2, 4 and 5 are completely separate and don't use the same concourse, but Terminal 2 does use the same foot tunnel but from the other side. Terminals 4 and 5 have their own train/underground stations which are one stop before/after 2/3. Nice video though.

Thank you for this helpful and practical video! I have another question for you…do you think the London Pass is the way you go for tourists? Would appreciate your opinion 🙂
We have a fall 2024 trip to London planned!

Hi Emily, You mention that the Heathrow Express costs about £25 and that the Elizabeth Line costs about £12.80, but I think people might also be interested to know that the Piccadilly Line costs only £5.60. And, by changing trains to the District Line at Earls Court, you can even get to Paddington (the destination that costs £25 by Heathrow Express) for that same £5.60! ...admittedly the journey takes about an hour! 🙂

omg this was super helpful thank you so much!!

Best website for jobs?

This is a much less expensive option than taxi's or car services. The first time we came we spent around 80 pounds for a car service! The next time we came we took the tube - and saved a lot of money! I think there are times when a car/taxi still might be good - like if you have small children or lots of luggage - but if you are able to take the tube I recommend it!

Another thing to point out is that the Heathrow Express isn't included in the daily price cap for oyster and contactless so if you're gonna be traveling around central London after getting there you'll be paying the £25 for the Heathrow Express plus up to the £8.50 daily cap for zones 1-2 whereas with the Piccadilly line and Elizabeth Line from the airport, you'll cap at £14.90 if you travel more

Very informational video. Thanks so much... Is there a portal for Picadilly line stops?.. Thanks,

nice tour and tips on airport dis good
