Default Heathrow Free Travel Area

Why are the staff taking trains from one terminal to another? If

their
job requires moving around the airport I'd expect the employer to
provide an [airside] alternative.


Plenty of staff don't work airside. And they might arrive on a bus to
the central bus station and need to make a connection.


If it's their regular place of work wouldn't they get a bus direct to
the appropriate terminal?

Not everyone going to/from LHR uses HEx or a taxi. I've always thought
the free travel zone was aimed at that.


The ones who arrive by car at the wrong terminal need accommodating,
there's no denying that.
