Heathrow Terminal 5 Underground station is in the basement of the terminal building.
The Elizabeth Line offers a reasonable, more budget-friendly option for travelling to Heathrow. It's likely to be the best train to Heathrow if you're coming from East or Central London, as it avoids the need to change at Paddington. It's also the cheapest option if you need to travel at the last-minute.
The London Underground (aka 'the Tube') gets you from Heathrow to central London in under an hour, with trains running every 10 minutes. Heathrow has three underground stations, at Terminal 2/3 and at Terminal 4 and 5. Prices start from £5.50, making it one of the cheapest travel routes to London from Heathrow.
The Elizabeth Line is about half the price of a full-fare Heathrow Express ticket, but takes twice as long to reach Paddington. Trains depart every 30 minutes and it takes just 35 minutes to travel between Paddington Station and Heathrow.
The fares on the central section of the Elizabeth line (Paddington to Liverpool Street) are the same as the fares on London Underground in Zone 1. So travelling from Paddington to Liverpool Street would cost you £2.80 – the same as the Tube.
It is clearly the cheapest option. The frequency of trains is the second reason. Piccadilly Line trains depart every 10 minutes or less, even during off-peak times, whereas the Elizabeth Line only runs twice an hour.

Yes, there is a direct train departing from London Heathrow Airport T2 & 3 Train Station station and arriving at London Paddington Train Station station. Services depart every 15 minutes, and operate every day. The journey takes approximately 16 min.
I realize the Elizabeth Line is technically faster than the Piccadilly Line, but cancelling that out is that its potential wait-time and the transfer time are longer.
Elizabeth line fares are the same as the Tube on journeys within TfL's nine fare zones, which extend to Brentwood. But passengers travelling to and from Shenfield in the east, and to or from all stations beyond West Drayton in the west, are charged “special” rates equivalent to national rail fares.
The Elizabeth line is cheaper than the Heathrow Express and faster than the Piccadilly line, so it is an attractive option. But that means there is often a lot of luggage on the floor, in carriages with no luggage racks, meaning airline passengers and commuters are jostling for limited space.

A small number of Elizabeth line services - mostly at the start and end of the day - still terminate at Paddington and Liverpool Street National Rail stations instead of running directly into the Elizabeth line tunnels.
Free London Underground services and shuttle trains (Elizabeth Line and Heathrow Express) are available for inter-terminal transfers between Heathrow Terminals 2&3 and Heathrow Terminal 5.
First and foremost, it is not a 'tube line' – it is a regular national railway line. But it coexists and operates side-by-side with the London Underground. Perhaps the biggest and most obvious difference are the trains themselves.
