Heathrow Connect Airport Train
Cheaper Stopping Train Alternative to Heathrow Express
 |
| Heathrow Connect Train |
The Heathrow Connect Train is a cheaper alternative to the Heathrow Express. The reason Heathrow Connect is cheaper is that it is a stopping train and thus takes 10 minutes longer than the Heathrow Express, (25 minutes as against 15 minutes to Heathrow Central).
The Heathrow Connect train is also less frequent, every 30 minutes instead of every 15 minutes with Heathrow Express and on a Sunday only every 60 minutes.

Both Heathrow Express and Heathrow Connect trains share the same platforms at Heathrow Central.
The London Underground trains at Heathrow do not stop at the same platforms as the Heathrow Express and Heathrow Connect trains.
