When crossrail starts with Hex vanish? I can't see any reason for its

Will they get a "cut" in crossrail or will the next (or current?)

According to last nights Evening Standard Ken is going to have an
"intense conversation with BAA about this" No doubt his ability to
impose a new congestion zone around Heathrow could concentrate BAA's
mind wonderfully.

Do we know if a journey on Crossrail from heathrow is going to be
cheaper than HEX?

I bet that they will charge a premium to travel on Crossrail and I
cant see Ken allowing Crossrail to be used on a normal zonal
Travelcard. (1-6 for Heathrow)

Most travellers will chose Crossrail to travel from Heathrow as their
ultimate destination in all likelyhood is not Paddington.

So i see the possbility HEX being gradually phased out as demand
dwindles.
