Quite. I for one believe that HEx - or at the very least the stopping
service - should be subsidised and included in the Travelcard system,
just like, for example, express services to Manchester Airport are
within the GMPTE/National Rail fares structure.


It will be - services between Paddington and H&H on Heathrow Connect
will be fully valid using Travelcards. It is only the service between
H&H and Heathrow that will have a premium fare.


I think the point was that the trip to Heathrow should be included in the
travelcard system.

I mostly agree with Neil - i'm happy for HX to be a premium service, all
suburban trains should come under the travelcard system, whether they
happen to go to Heathrow or not.
