Awesome! Yes, the SU is for Surrey, so I was told...

Because I'm running on no sleep, please allow me to summarize:

- From LHR take the Picadilly line, and get off at Earl's Court.

- At this location, catch the District line to Victoria (4 stops later)

- Go upstairs to the mainline station to get an East Croydon train, on the right hand side
==============

I feel remarkably better already. Thank you so much! A couple clarifying questions that obviously reveal my ignorance here....

1. Does one catch the Picadilly line at LHR in the same area where I caught the Heathrow Express? I seem to recall that line, but I'm not sure now. I can better relate as I just did this, and makes explaining to my wife a bit easier.

2. I purchased my ticket for the Heathrow Express at a counter, and I think was 15 or so pounds. Must my wife purchase these tickets separately after each stop, or can she buy all three (LHR->Earl's Court, Earl's Court ->Victoria and Victoria->East Croydon) at the airport? If so, I'm hoping not only through a machine, as that would be fairly hard with her limited English abilties; and the pressure of trying to go fast with people waiting behind her...

3. I'm hoping to have her exchange US dollars to pounds at SFO so she'll have one less thing to worry about upon arrival. Given this three train trek, about how many pounds should she have to cover these expenses? And with whatever this figure might be, is there some type of weekly or monthly pass for about the same price? If so, it might then be prudent to get that instead, especially since a trip back to the airport will be necessary in two weeks.

Thank you once again. I appreciate the gesture to help if you (Harpo) were still in the area!
