Heathrow Terminal 3 to Shenfield on Elizabeth Line

I want to go to ForrestGate from Heathrow Terminal 3 on the Elizabeth line, but can't get any such route on Google or Citymap. But Elizabeth Line shows a route from Terminal 3/4/5 to Shenfield (via ForrestGate). I have a lot of luggage, so don't want to go thru any interchange. All the routes shown on google/citymapper has an interchange in Paddington/Whitechapel.

Ok I got the answer, The Elizabeth Line serves both Heathrow and Forest Gate, but trains follow different service patterns, and currently all Heathrow trains go down the Abbey Wood branch, and not the Shenfield branch. From the 21st of May 2023 there will be some direct trains from Heathrow to Shenfield, but sometimes it will still be quicker to change.
