Default What will become of the Heathrow Express with Crossrail?

Presumably though that goes to somewhere useful. Paddington was a no-
other-choice option for Hex. When crossrail opens why would anyone pay
more to go to paddington when they could get a slightly slower train
and actually get much nearer to their destination?



I wonder if a lot of travellers have package deals in which they've
already paid for it (not necessarily noticing how much, like the
orange juice in a large round of drinks), and would pay again to use
any other train.
