Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

I've heard it's free entry if you sing Gloria in Excel-sis as approaching the main entrance.

@DJL, thanks, that's useful as I'll be travelling Heathrow to Abbey Wood (and back a couple of days later) in a few weeks

@Whitters, its a good service for Heathrow, I used it last week, though at the moment you have to walk from one side of Paddington to the other. From 6 Nov it will be straight though, barely any slower than changing for the Heathrow Express and will save over £20.

I can’t see the Heathrow Express being around too much longer, except if they market it hard to poor unsuspecting tourists.

Agree - it’s harder to see the benefits, and they will likely be starting to feel the Pain. But they do sell hard in the airport to tourists.
Though:
HEX have improved their pricing, offer very cheap advance tickets, can use a rail card- cheaper than Crossrail actually which have hiked prices
HEX has a higher frequency
Faster time into London and for passengers that jump into cabs they aren’t price sensitive
Business first travellers get free Heathrow fast track security

Yes the Elizabeth line is pricey at at £11.50 (more than I thought it would be, but comparable to the old tfl overground route) so the advance Heathrow Express fare at £5.50 looks good but you need to buy it 90 days in advance and Fixed Date Single Advance tickets are non-refundable and non-exchangeable. This includes even during COVID-19 lockdown or quarantine scenarios.
Funny is that the tfl journey planner’s default selections (fastest by public transport) make Heathrow Express the only rail journey to/from Paddington that comes up when you ask it.
