Thanks Twickenham, I had discounted them for my trip 6 January but have now booked it. Much appreciated I wouldnt have seen this otherwise.

best regards ROscoe

Do you think it worth paying the £3.00 extra for "Business First Class"?

[Cotswold Eagle]

In terms of the difference in facilities that's still at least £2-99 of my own money too much. But will be interesting to see if they get a lot busier with this radical new price structure, in which case it might be worth it.

If I were going to pay for the HEX at all, then personally I would pay the extra £3.

 

I had to apply some mental discipline to come to that conclusion. The thinking went a bit like this: back when the HEX was something like £15 each way in standard class and I had a card that gave me a free upgrade to first class, I would take the HEX. But when that card was withdrawn, doing it in standard class seemed like an expensive way of getting to Heathrow, compared to the Tube; and I then stopped using it when new Tube fares meant that getting there by Tube effectively became much cheaper. For context: using the HEX saves me about 10 minutes on average over taking the Tube, although the Tube at peak hour is obviously sometimes not comfortable.

For £6.99 I'd gladly ride HEX rather than the Tube (with changes). Given their normal pricing I've opted for Heathrow Connect over either.
