But the Heathrow Express costs a bomb.
Would it still be so expensive after Crossrail?

Livingstone says that Crossrail to Heathrow will be included in the
Travelcard scheme. But he might not be the one deciding...

It is still not clear to me if Crossrail will replace HEX, and whether
there will still be a premium fare non-stop Paddington-Heathrow service.
Also it will be very interesting to see the fare structure for the new
Paddington-Heathrow (joint Thaems Trains/HEX ?) stopping service when it
commences next year.

I'm not sure they've decided yet. There's a lot of modelling being
done of the various options, to see which works best during times of
disruption.

Since posting my message above I have read some further material at the
Crossrail website which states quite explicitly that the 6 CrossRail
trains per hour to Heathrow will replace the HEX service. But it still
does not indicate if these will all call at Ealing Broadway and Hayes.
