London Heathrow airport to Leeds
In reference to my earlier question - earlier question
I will be reaching at 10:15 am as I changed my travel date time.
- Should I prebook national express coach to Leeds Station? Or should I reach there and book?Any benefits If I book early?
- Another option is to take the underground till Kings Cross. Then get the LNER service till Leeds. For the underground tube tickets, Can i board any train towards Kings Cross or is there a train number or time for the underground tube?
- For the above option (LNER) should I book early online towards Leeds? Again If I book a normal ticket is there a time or train number specific? I hope I can collect the tickets at the Kings cross station.
- For LNER is it easy to locate the coach number? I mean I hope i will have enough time to locate the coach number in case the train just stops there for say 2 or 3 minutes(If origin station is somewhere else)

National Express tickets may be cheaper if you book in advance. Buying in advance guarantees you a seat on the bus, if you turn up on the day it might be sold out (that might be less likely at the current time).
London underground tickets aren't bound to a specific train. Get there, buy your ticket, and take the first train towards your destination.
For long distance trains, you can almost always get a cheaper ticket by booking in advance. Some tickets are specific to one train, others are flexible and allow you to take any train on a specific date (or any train outside of peak-time, or various other conditions). I don't think "a normal ticket" clearly refers to either type, both are common. In my experience, any website where you can book British train tickets always makes it clear which kind of ticket you are choosing.
This shouldn't be a concern. Kings Cross is the starting point for the line, so you should have plenty of time to find your carriage.
