Options from/to Heathrow
A couple of weeks ago it took me just over half hour to get from Richmond to Hatton Cross - including a ten minute wait for a bus at Feltham. So the transfer could be done in 20 minutes if you are lucky with the buses.
Heathrow connect from Terminals 1-2-3 to Ealing Broadway takes 17 minutes but beware:
(1) The trains are only half houely
(2) The single fare is £8.80 and you can't use Travelcards

I think I ran over the station footbridge and out of the station, and used that bus stop. Waited for ages.

I think using Heathrow Connect is a complete waste of time whilst the RRBS is in place. If you were going from Acton Town to Heathrow, you'd have to get out at Hatton Cross, travel both directions on the bus, then get back on the Tube again to get the Connect service from Ts 123. At least with Heathrow Express you could double back at 123, then only use the bus in one direction and hop on the Express. They're twice as frequent, too.
The money excuse is an illogical one. If you want the record enough, and if you have weighed up the options and think it's worth it, then surely an extra tenner isn't going to hurt all that much? On top of your accomodation, Travelcard and supplies, it will probably be a few per cent of your total expenditure. You could even use a Young Persons' Railcard, or other Railcard, if you've got one, and save 1/3rd.
