Default Heathrow Connect service

Which is the problem.

I do (vaguely) understand the principle of HEx itself being a premium
product, but a local stopping service should be *entirely* within the
"Verbundtarif". I can't see a massive premium market there, in any
case, for a stopping service.

I also dislike the idea that it won't be advertised for Heathrow at
Padd. For holders of 1-6 Travelcards, it will be a cheaper choice to
pay the fare only from H&H to Heathrow, and this should be made easily
available to them if there is this insistence on so-called premium
ticketing.
