But what samples do Connect and FGW use?

Heathrow Connect does not exist. It is not a company. *All* trains
between Hayes and Harlington and Paddington are run by First Great
Western, while all trains between Hayes and Heathrow are run by BAA.
The Heathrow Connect trains and staff are supplied by BAA and rented
to FGW for the trip from Hayes to Paddingtpn and back. Therefore It's
likely all fare revenue for journeys not involving Heathrow goes to
FGW.

Heathrow Connect is just a brand for this oddball arrangement.
