Excessive premiumm to LHR from Z1 - £7.20,Â* from Z2 only £4.50,
otherwise normal fares.

An important question I can't see an answer to is: does a zone 1-6
travelcard cover travel on the Elizabeth Line as far as Heathrow?

Yes it does. Also Freedom Passes.

Or, to be precise, no.

It does NOT say that a zone 1-6 travelcard will cover travel on the
Elizabeth Line as far as Heathrow. It's well written as smoke and mirrors
but it offers no prices to Heathrow using travelcards, nor can I see any
reference to Freedom Passes. So what those of us outside London who would
expect to buy a day travelcard and not use Oyster are supposed to do is
entirely unstated.

To get the full facts then read the Mayoral Decision.

https://www.london.gov.uk/decisions/...es-20-may-2018

It is absolutely clear that Daily / 7 Day and longer Travelcards valid in Zone 6 will be valid to Heathrow using TfL. Ditto for daily / weekly caps covering travel to Zone 6.

All existing concessions also apply to TfL Rail services including the 60+ Pass, Freedom Pass, Veterans Oyster Card and the various child / low income / job seeker reductions.

TfL are also arranging with HAL as to how the existing Heathrow staff travel concessions will be maintained. At present they are a "goodwill" measure from GWR.

HEX will remain outside capping and Travelcard schemes. Oyster and Contactless acceptance will begin in the Summer when the gating of HEX's platforms at Paddington is complete. The HEX stations at Heathrow are also being gated as part of this scheme.
