Ordinary LU single tickets to Heathrow will *not* be accepted on these
services; it must be a Z1-6 Travelcard. Even though Heathrow Connect
services call at stations outside Z1, you will not be able to travel to
Heathrow on a Z2-6 or other Travelcard which excludes Z1; it must be a
Z1-6 Travelcard.
I note TfL publicity states:
"If you are in possession of a Travelcard which does not cover all 6
zones, you can purchase a ticket extension to use Heathrow Express and
Connect services".
Okay, does anyone know if these extension tickets are priced as LU
zone extensions? Would seem a little strange if this is the case since
LU single/return tickets are not being accepted on Heathrow
Express/Connect.
Also are Young Persons Railcard discounted All Zone Day Travelcards
accepted on Heathrow Express during these weekends? I presume they are
since the publicity only refers to Student and New Deal discounts not
being valid.
