Don’t disagree that the logistics of Heathrow Express to Paddington is probably the easiest of the 2 options, but at potentially £100 + cab fare, that’s an expensive trip.That's the exact reason I've not mentioned the tube once. It's a non starter with any kind of luggage.
Tube is always packed and your fellow passengers will hate you for it. (3 stops or not)
I mean, Elizebethan line uses the tube stations anyway once it's in central London so your still lugging baggage up the escalators at Tottenham Court Road.
Heathrow express uses mainline and dumps you out on a platform. 100m from the taxi rank. Why mess around? It costs more because it's better.
Liz line to Tottenham Court Rd would easily be less than half the cost with a cheaper cab fare to Euston.
Getting to street level from the Liz Line at Tottenham Ct Rd is easy, there’s lifts, it is totally separate from the tube lines.
For the onward trip to Liverpool pre-book off peak tickets for your best guess departure time, with reserved seats. If you miss this, you can re-book seats for the next off-peak departure free of charge at the Euston station booking office.
Off-peak departure times from Euston to Liverpool are 09:30 -15:00. If you qualify for the Friends and Family railcard, all the above fares (inc Heathrow Express) are reduced by 33%.
