... we saw numerous displays clearly stating that
Travelcards were NOT valid on the Heathrow Express.


I travelled on Heathrow Express with a Z1-6 ODTC on Sunday as I have
done several times when the facility has been available. The only
signs that I saw said that Travelcards other than Z1-6 were not
valid. Are you sure you are not mistaken? Did you take a photo of
one of
these notices so that you could send it to TfL to complain that
Heathrow Express were not acting as contracted to do.


They're only contracted to accept the tickets on the service, not to
sell them as the only tickets on the service... I don't think CJB
realises the arrangement is to allow LUL travellers the ability to
travel, not to turn HEX into a branch of the underground for one
weekend.



But he said that there were notices saying that TravelCards were not
valid. I don't think I believe him.
