The Heathrow Connect

I arrive at Heathrow in Terminal 3...can I get the Heathrow Connect in Terminal 3 or do I have to go to Terminal 4?
If I have to go to Terminal 4, how do I get there?
Many Thanks

Hi Phyllis, Think of the two trains and train stops like the following: >----- to Paddington Station. The top of the >---- is terminal 4 (Heathrow Connect) the bottom is terminal 5 (Heathrow Express). Both trains stop both going and coming at the juncture called Heathrow Central (serves Terminals 1,2,3). From terminal 5 you take the Heathrow Express (free) to Heathrow Central and change to the Heathrow Connect (6 pds 90). From terminal 4 Heathrow Connect takes you all the way into Paddington with a short stop at Heathrow Central along with 5 other stops enroute. From Paddington to the terminals it is simply the opposite routing. Enjoy your trip.

From Terminal 3 you take the Heathrow Express train (free) to Heathrow Central where you can pick up the Heathrow Connect train from the same platform.

Unless I'm reading the Heathrow site incorrectly, the Heathrow Express doesn't stop at Terminal 3 itself. Both the Heathrow Express and the Heathrow Connect stop at Heathrow Central which serves terminals 1, 2, and 3. Simply walk from Terminal 3 to Heathrow Central and catch the Heathrow Connect there.

Tim, as usual, is right. There is no station at Terminal 3. Heathrow Central is the train station for Terminals 1,2,3. Both Heathrow Connect and Heathrow Express stop there.
