Not sure, I have no reason to use that line, but I suspect the two services share the same track at LHR but diverge soon after.

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...
One ticket for the tube system (to Victoria), another for the mainline to Croydon.

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.
Sorry Tony, no idea about fares but thirty UKP should do the job, and buy a drink and a paper.
'Season tickets' will be available for both 1 week and 1 month duration. Cannot give a cost though. Transport in the UK is expensive - which is why we all use cars!
