The proposed service is not a special high speed, but normal suburban
train running into Heathrow.


ISTR Gatwick ticket prices are slightly out of line with neighbouring
stations.

The Picadilly line runs to Heathrow Zone 6 with no premium.


Perhaps no-one should draw Bozza's attention to this - a Picc line LHR
supplement could be used to pay for the Mayor to take Norman Foster
out for a few lunches to discuss their mutual interest in 'totally
realistic, down to earth, zero-cost to the public purse' plans for an
mega-hub airport to serve London located in someone else's backyard...


Madrid line whatever goes to the airport, with a supplement. I've heard
the tram to Lyon airport is (very) premium fare.


The Mobilis ticket in Īle-de-France (i.e. 'Greater Paris') - which is
kinda equivalent to the London day Travelcard - isn't valid for travel
to or from CDG/Roissy airport by RER or Orly airport by RER & Orlyval
(nor is it valid on RATP's Roissybus or Orlybus services that link the
airports to central Paris). For tourists at least, they want you to
buy the pricey Paris Visite card instead.
