Default Crossrail access to Heathrow still not settled

Heathrow Express uses dedicated platforms at Paddington, just like Gatwick Express does at Victoria, so the same mechanism could be used for charging a premium fare. Also, as Heathrow Express usually checks 100% of tickets during the journey, the handheld Oyster reader that they will presumably be issued with could trigger a "surcharge".
