We were able to buy the tickets from the comfort of our own home at a good price. One more remark: the booking was no longer visible when we returned. Fortunately, I had kept the booking number and found the return ticket again.

Whole experience was pretty easy. Had a bit of a delay due to technical issue on the train in front of us. I found it easy, reliable and efficient. Andy

After baggage claim at terminal 4, the route to the Heathrow express is well signposted. We're directed to a free shuttle (I presented my Heathrow express ticket at a kiosk) which takes us to Terminal 2. We get off and stay on the same platform (very convenient) to catch the Heathrow express. In exactly 15 minutes we arrive at Paddington station. Internet connection available.
