BAA is well known for its inability to run a simple out and back

This is what was heard over the tannoy at Hayes and Harlington this
lunch-time - at about 12.40.

"This is an announcement for everyone still waiting for the 12.03
Heathrow CONnect service to Hanwell and West Ealing. We just been told
that this service to Paddington was cancelled, but no-one bothered to
tell us (the staff) at Hayes and Harlington. We apologise for any
inconvenience caused by this cancellation." The next Heathrow CONnect
service to Paddington will be the 1.03."

OK - but what about the 12.33 CONnect to Paddington? Ah - apparently
that was cancelled too.

Then at about 12.50 an empty 'Out of Service' CONnect went through
towards Paddington. It did not stop. It was empty. There were
passengers waiting for the 12.33 service, probably some were also left
over from the cancelled 12.03 service.

What a way to run a service to/from one of the world's busiest
airports.

CJB.

I believe there are other trains from Hayes to Paddington.

But the FGW locals from Reading to/from Paddington do not stop at
Hanwell, West Ealing (or usually Acton Main Line).

The 12.03 (and apparently the 12.33) CONnect was cancelled without
telling any FGW staff or passengers at both Hayes and Southall. And
because of this none of the FGW locals made extra stops at Hanwell or
West Ealing. Total incompetence on BAA's part. CJB.
