Oyster - Elizabeth Line to/from Heathrow T4

[paul@skegby.org.]

Can I use oyster on the Elizabeth Line to/from Heathrow Terminal 4 or is it contactless.

I'll be travelling out on a Friday afternoon and returning Saturday morning, would oyster be the cheapest or is there an alternative?

Oyster is accepted at Heathrow on the Elizabeth Line.

And to save a bit of money, break your journey at Hayes & Harlington (and touch out then touch back in at the gates).

Thanks, I'll bear it in mind, won't be in any rush.

As a matter of interest, how much does this save? I'm not familiar with the layout at H&H, but presumably this will involve slipping back one train. And it may be a hassle with luggage?

For Paddington to Heathrow at peak times it saves nothing. Off-peak it saves £1.80 (or £1.60 in evening peak to London).
