(This is a trek you probably know about  ... )

I took the "tube/underground" from Heathrow to Glouster RD.    It's a mere 15 miles (or so).    I had a big suitcase and some camera gear.    Boarded right at the airport.    At Glouster RD (at the time), everybody had to take a lift to street level.     I was young(er) and the London Underground is competent.[...]

I've done that several times on my annual London trips. The advantage of the Piccadilly line's rolling stock is that extra space has been set off by each central door for luggage. However, since the Piccadilly line stop by my hotel (Russell Square) requires going up steps followed by a lift trip, in more recent years I've switched over to the more expensive (but way faster) Heathrow Express followed by a short-ish cab ride from Paddington.
