I will be heading from Heathrow to King’s Cross station on my next trip. When I checked google maps it had a route that used the Elizabeth line to Farringdon and then the Thameslink train to King’s Cross instead of the tube. I found the YouTube video linked above. Is the transfer as straightforward as the first part of the video shows? Basically up the long escalator to sort of a mezzanine level and walk over to the correct platform? Or is the correct platform on the other side? Any reason to use the tube lines instead?
Yes I am aware that the picadilly line can get me there without any changes. However I’m one of the few people that find the picadilly line cramped when traveling with bags.
Alternatively what’s the transfer like at Paddington station from Heathrow express to the tube? Years ago I made the transfer but to the circle line going the opposite direction. It involved corridors and turns and steps. So perhaps going the other direction is easier?
Thank you for your help.
