But that sum (remember, unlike HEx, there's no premium on the Tube fare to
Heathrow, and it's included in daily caps and Freedom Passes) won't have
covered the cost of the tunnelling and station building. Hopefully, it at
least covered the cost of buying extra trains and operating them over the
extended line.

No premium now on the Heathrow Piccadilly Line extension but there was after
1977 precisely to contribute to construction costs.
