Question

Can you use an oyster card to travel on the Heathrow Express or do you have to pay a fare?

Answer 1

Its a seperate fare. That I know for certain.

you are better off financially taking the tube on the Picadilly line.

Answer 2

It's an expensive option, as you have to pay a separate fare. You can use an oyster card to travel on the Piccadilly Line to Terminal Four, however. http://www.workgateways.com/uk-essential...

Answer 3

no you cant.......

The express go's from heathrow to paddington every 15mins £15.50

The connect go's every 1/2hr 4 £6 and you stop at about 6 or so stations, i took it on tues=)

Hope it helps!

Answer 4

you definitely have to pay a separate fare - about £15.50 for a single journey.

Answer 5

If you want to take the 'express' there are 2 options.

Heathrow Express is the one that tourists normally take or ones who have expense accounts because it costs 15.50 Pounds and takes 22 minutes.

The other option that smart Londoners take is the Heathrow Connect, which also leaves from Paddington Station and it costs about 6 Pounds and it takes 29 minutes. The difference is that the former is 'non-stop' whereas this one stops about 6 stations.

You still can't use the Oyster Card, but at least its so much cheaper, and just as comfortable and fast.
