I’m due to fly out of Heathrow in June. Arrival in London will be at St
Pancras. Assuming the Elizabeth Line is running through the core, what’s
the best connection from StP? Trot downstairs and get a Thameslink heading
to Farringdon?
That sounds a good way to do it. If the Liz Line isn't running, I supposePancras. Assuming the Elizabeth Line is running through the core, what’s

it's Met/Circle Line round to Paddington and pick up the Heathrow Express
there.
direct Piccadilly train to any Heathrow terminal. Step-free all the way,
and the seats are more comfortable.
Have they sorted out the godawful mess they made of the signage to the
Thameslink platforms at St Pancras. When it first opened, I went to
investigate while I was in London and all the signs said "Govia" instead of
"Thameslink".
Don't blame Govia, which was the company that promptly sorted out theThameslink platforms at St Pancras. When it first opened, I went to

Whose brilliant idea was it to replace a well-known name
Thameslink with the here-today-gone-tomorrow name of the current company
that operated the service.

I asked one of the railway staff "which way to
the Thameslink platforms" and he said in a weary "I'm fed up of having to
keep telling people" voice "Look for signs saying Govia".
Definitely not.keep telling people" voice "Look for signs saying Govia".
Again, you are the one in the wrong. Govia is the company that fixed the
problem, and should be praised, not unfairly blamed. And it it's never used
Govia branding on any of its trains. Thameslink has never been called
Govia.
