Default Free Airport Transit?

I forget but, do either or both the Heathrow Express
and the Tube offer free rides within the airport for
transferring passengers and/or airport employees?


Heathrow Express is free for anyone between the two airport stations
(Heathrow Express is owned or part owned by the British Aiport Authority).

All buses are free for anyone both within the airport and along some (or
all?) of the main roads enclosing the airport - this is paid for by the
British Airport Authority.

The tube is not free for anyone.


Are you sure? I have heard rumours that you can travel between
Heathrow Terminal 4 and Heathrow Terminals 1,2,3 (via Hatton Cross if
necessary) for free - I believe you have to show airline tickets or
other proof of travel though. Having never attempted it, I don't even
know if it's true or not.
