Also balancing the amount of luggage. I take journeys with a
briefcase I would never consider with two suitcases and a carry-on.
Deep level tubes are exactly a case in point.


Exactly. Although the Piccadilly line trains (as I recommended earlier)
are more luggage-friendly than average, having been designed for the
Heathrow service. It's why I'd probably recommend that way of getting to
St Pancras rather than Heathrow Express plus sub-surface train (where
the stepless route has two additional changes of train now).


mmmm, Heathrow, Hammersmith (Cross Platform), Victoria, Bognor Regis,
might be worth a try.


The problem with that is the stairs at Victoria from the Underground -
which was precisely the thing I was originally trying to give advice on
how to avoid.

Now I understand Picadilly to KX and Thameslink to the South. OK, Got
It. Thanks.
