You will note that several issues are now on critical paths with little flexibility to cope with delays. These centre largely around getting signalling systems tested and integrated and also obtaining the large number of sign offs for the safe introduction of a lot of new railway assets.

Oyster and Contactless ticketing to Heathrow via HEX and Crossrail should be introduced next May according to the paper.

Interesting - thanks.

Do we know what the fare levels to Heathrow will be yet, or is that
still up in the air (pun not intended, the trains aren't planes)?
