BAA also continues to promote the OTT expensive HEX to the detriment
of the CON. The CON is not announced at calling at Heathrow at any of
the intermediate stations. The CON's on-board p.a. does not mention
the free shuttles between Central and T4 / T5.

I have to say this does seem to be a deliberate change. The announcement
at Ealing Broadway has been crudely doctored to remove references to
Heathrow: the next train at platform 3 is for pause, calling at West
Ealing ... Hayes and Harlington and pause.

Presumably too many passengers were arriving at Paddington with time to
spare, and saving themselves 6 quid (or whatever) a head. But it's stupid
not to mention Heathrow at intermediate stations - surely no-one would go
in to Paddington to catch HEx from Ealing or Southall?
