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.

This is because of the planned closure of the Piccadilly between Hyde
Park Corner and will also apply next weekend, 22/23 October. There
will be other dates in 2006 and 2007.

I'll be passing through London at the weekend on a ticket to go
elsewhere. Will I be able to make this side-journey on Oyster pre-pay?

No. It needs to be a Z1-6 Travelcard (Oyster-based or otherwise) or a
One Day Travelcard. Freedom Passes will also be valid. Nothing else
will do.
