This is typical of the ignorant and illogical comments coming out
of Richmond at present. If the base option is built, passengers
from Richmond would get to Paddington faster than they currently
get to Hammersmith, and their journey from Paddington to Heathrow
would also be quicker than the Piccadilly line.


But the Heathrow Express costs a bomb. Would it still be so expensive
after Crossrail?


I sincerely hope not, but Crossrail aren't saying anything about fares at
the moment. Maybe it depends on the terms under which BAA permit Crossrail
to run trains down their line.
