A major difference between these and the previous closures is that
Heathrow Express and Heathrow Connect will NOT be accepting London
Underground tickets. A bus will be run between North Acton (on the
Central line) and Acton Town for Heathrow passengers. Does anybody
know why Hex are refusing to accept LU tickets this time?


I also noticed this last week.

I think the question should really be why hasn't LU reached an
agreement with Hex as before. I'm guessing the previous deal for LU
tickets to be accepted on Hex was only for a set number of weekends
which has now expired - is LU no longer willing to cough up the cash,
or has Hex increased what it would charge LU, and LU has refused to pay?
