@Londonsteve, you’re thinking like a Londoner.

From my perspective, getting to/from St Pancras on multiple trains with heavy baggage is a logistical nightmare, especially late evening, early morning or on weekends where trains are much less frequent. Alternatively, I can drive in comfort to Heathrow in 2.5 hours, drop my car in the short stay car park and stroll to the check-in desk where I’m immediately relieved of my heavy luggage.

If I could easily drive to St Pancras and cost-effectively park somewhere where I could wheel my bags to the train, the equation might be different. The problem is that central London stations just don’t work well for us provincials.
