I thought people like to know it appears the Heathrow Connect is now being driven by tfl rail staff(or staff in tfl rail uniform/Id ) So it appears they have TUPEd across.My 9:03 train from Hayes & Harlington was.

MTR Crossrail currently have a small team of Drivers and Instructors based at Old Oak & Paddington who are training the first batch of trainee drivers on the Paddington to Heathrow route in preparation for Stage 2 next year. No staff have been TUPEd over. It was most probably an instructor and trainee you saw driving this service.

There appeared to be one person in the cab of the train

I've noticed that the Mon-Sat services have quietly been diverted back to Terminal 5! Which makes the massive fanfare last year of it going to Terminal 4 very bizarre! :|
