Bishop’s Stortford to Heathrow: taxi vs train vs driving
Greater Anglia trains run to Liverpool Street for the Elizabeth line direct to Heathrow – around 1 hour 45 minutes with one change.
| Onward taxi | Train / Tube | Driving and parking | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Door to door | Yes | No | No – shuttle from car park |
| Typical time | 1 hour 13 minutes – 1 hour 45 minutes | See above | Drive plus parking transfer |
| Luggage | Loaded for you | Carried through stations | Carried from the car park |
| Cost | Fixed, per vehicle | Per person | Fuel plus daily parking |

For one person with a small bag, the train can be cheaper. For couples, families, anyone with heavy luggage or an early flight, a fixed-price taxi is usually the easier option – and the price is for the car, not per passenger.
