The Piccadilly Line is only going as far as Acton Town from Heathrow at
weekends this month


Actually only at 2 weekends this month (5/6 and 19/20 Jan) and one
next month (9/10 Feb, closed Northfields-Hammersmith and
Uxbridge-Hammersmith).


Ouch! How will Heathrow be served via Northfields? Or will they let people
use Heathrow Express/Connect this time?

later Not by the look of it though TfL's Journey Planner only offers HEX
by default. Excluding Rail the only alternative (1) is Piccadilly to
Hammersmith, replacement bus to Boston Manor and Piccadilly from there.

(1) apart from the positively wacky coach 504 from Victoria Coach Station
("TfL tickets and passes are not accepted on this service")
