I note that the Heathrow branch is now included on this map, though it
is grayed out at present.


The most recent board papers said they're looking at using it on
Heathrow Connect. They also said everyone but SWT (with their ITSO
problems) is installing readers. Slightly hazy on how solid the
agreement was, however.


Heathrow Connect implementation is planned for 22 Feb 2009. There will
be separate fares to cover the higher rate into Heathrow plus higher
daily peak and off peak caps. In addition the minimum fare deduction on
entry will rise to £8 at Heathrow and Paddington Main Line.
