[QUOTE=[B]nux[/B];21118964]It does not say that the Crossrail trains will be express from Paddington to Heathrow....
True...
But it does say...
In return, Crossrail will guarantee a fast train service four times an hour for the majority of the day.
But I accept that they could still be called "fast" even if they call at all the stations between Heathrow and Paddington.
I still think that 4 HEX trains an hour to Paddinton Mainline will be too many after 2019.
I would bet money (the price of a HEX single at 2019 prices
) that the fast trains from Paddington could get routed down Crossrail too or reduced from 4.
I would also bet that the price for everything from LHR is the same. (and it will still be quite high)
