Today's early morning press call at Paddington saw Lord Adonis announce a £240m commitment to Crossrail from BAA.
In return, according to the press release, there will be 'four fast-train services an hour' to Heathrow.
These will apparently run direct from Heathrow airport to the City and Canary Wharf and out to Shenfield and Abbey Wood (stations omitted by these fast trains were not mentioned in the release).
So with the government offering £5.6bn to the project and BAA £240m that leaves only another £9bn to find!
