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?


Because they HEx has the word "express" in the name and better marketing
in general?
