Having travelled on the continent and used trains to a form airports I have found most quick, efficient and good value. However, the fares charged by Heathrow Express to get to and from Central London are a complete embarrassment. It's an absolute scandal that jet-lagged visitors arrive having had a long overnight flight are then charged £30 to get into London to complete their journey; welcome to rip-off Britain! Some of this huge amount of money probably pays staff as witnessed here with no fewer than four HX employees chatting next to 332014 that will soon work the 09.55 to Heathrow's Terminal five.
