One thing to note here, the Heathrow Connect service also runs from Heathrow T4/T123 to Paddington, but stops along the way. It takes about twice as long but costs less than half as much.

The national rail web site suggested by Charlie will take you to a rail ticket purchasing site. As a general rule, trains from London to Snow Hill are slower but cheaper than those arriving at New Street. You can walk up and buy tickets on the day - but they are usually horrendously expensive. Y
