I am arriving London Heathrow Terminal 4 and want to take the Heathrow Connect into Paddington Station. Can someone please tell me where to go to find the Heathrow Connect? The map shows a line connecting Terminal 4 to the train line into Paddington. The site does not tell me if I have to take a shuttle to another area. I will have to purchase my ticket after going through customs. thanks. Only 12 days left.

I think you're talking about the Heathrow Express. If I'm right, it is well signposted in Terminal 4 to their platform. Heathrow in general is a very well signed airport.

Hi David, There is a "slower" and "cheaper" train called Heathrow Connect that leaves every 30 minutes rather than every 15 minutes like the Express. The Express is 14.50 GBP per single ride. The Connect is 6.90 GBP but just looked up the underground and it is 4.00 GBP. I'm just trying to figure out if the underground leaves from Terminal 4. I don't see a line on their map connecting Terminal 4 to Paddington Station. If the underground does go from Terminal 4 to Paddington without changes, we will probably do that. Thanks for letting me know the airport is well "signed". Upon arrival I am always anxious trying to find the way through customs and out of the airport to our choice of transportation. The Travel Card from the airport to Paddington is out because it is good from time of validation for 3 days and we would loose a day since we arrive late into Heathrow using one day of usage.
