Reddit take

Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • Take the Elizabeth line not the Heathrow Express. It goes to the same place, is 10 mins slower but half the price.
  • Elizabeth Line is much cheaper and hardly any slower.
  • Personally I would use the Elizabeth line whenever possible, especially if you have luggages.
  • form Farringdon, you can do elizbeth line to tottenham court road, (front of the train) or Bond street (back of the train and stroll down to Piccadilly.
  • Elizabeth line is fully accessible and has AC!

Cons

  • Ignore any comments advising to take the Elizabeth Line. This is more expensive and takes longer to reach any sights you'll be interested in.
  • There are faster routes via Elizabeth line but you'll need to then change in central London.
  • The last Heathrow Express leaves Heathrow at 11.55, which means there's a very good chance you'll miss it. Ditto the Elizabeth Line. That means you wouldn't be getting to Paddington until well after midnight.

If you're used to the trains the Elizabeth line is straight forward and you can uber once in the city if you didn't want to use the underground.
