The half hourly Paddington-Heathrow service will run from 12 December
but only as far as Hayes, and will be worked by Class 165s. It will be
extended from Hayes to Heathrow next Spring when the first four 360/2
Desiros are available.

How will this service will compare in terms of fares and journey times
with the Heathrow Express? Is it to be expected that HX will lose much
custom to the new service?

The half hourly Heathrow Connect stopping services from Paddington should
reach Heathrow T123 in about 28 mins, compared with 15 mins for Heathrow
Express services.
