We are taking the underground from Heathrow Airport with the ending
destination of Chester. From looking at a map, we will need to take
the Heathrow Underground (from terminal 3) to Euston station, then
catch a train from Euston to Chester.
My question is: which Euston station is a National Rail station? There
are three on the Tube's website.(Charing Cross, Square, City Branch).
I was hoping there was a direct train but it doesn't look like there
is.... any suggestions?

Euston on the Victoria and Northern lines will take you straight up into
the mainline station. This is the journey you'll probably make from
Heathrow, assuming you're coming in by Underground. You're probably best
changing at Green Park from the Piccadilly line to the Victoria line,
though you ought to know that it's a (short-ish) underground walk between
lines.

Euston Square station is over the road from the mainline station; since
this is served by the Circle and Hammersmith/City lines, you're unlikely
to be using this, unless you're coming in from Heathrow via the Heathrow
Express, which'll cost an arm and a leg (abeit quite a pleasurable one)
and will land you in Paddington.
