Default Piccadilly line 'bustitution' to Heathrow this weekend

Make it work like Madrid

Install barriers and make anyone who hasn't already got a "premium"
ticket buy a (suggest 5 pound!) excess from a machine

These barriers don't seem to restrict the passenger flow at MAD and
that's with this being the only rail connection to the airport

Of course, they will have to stop giving "free" rides from T123 to T4 (etc)


The latter won't work, as it's a fundamental requirement for Heathrow in
the modern age to be able to move passengers from one terminal to
another free of charge.
