I doubt it. I can now get a direct train from my local LIz line station (a short bus ride away) to Heathrow Central in 49 minutes but if there is a flight available to the same destination from City (same bus, plus 15 minutes on the DLR) then I will always choose the latter due to the significantly superior airport experience (and I have a BA Gold card so can use all the LHR "frills" which IME are overcrowded and substandard compared to what they were like a few years back).
