[central London to Heathrow during Tube strike]

I've got to do the reverse next week.

LHR to Vic after 10pm [1] to arrive for my last train at midnight.

I really need to know what this last train at 11:00, but outbound from
Central London at 9:30 claim, means.

That would mean last inbound at 9:00 on most lines, how is that 11:00?

Of course my luck will depend upon whether HEx is running or not.
There's a perfectly usable HR connect at 10:29 which gives me an hour to
get from Padd to Vic on the bus. But if they are on strike again as
well [2] I'm kind of stuck unless my flights dead early and there isn't
a scrum at immigration so I can bus to Feltham.

HEx workers are not on strike next week.

Is that actually certain, or is it just they that haven't yet announced that
they will (though I guess it's now too late to do so)

Anyone know how the taxis are running. Many other countries would
organise "official" sharing in these circumstances, but I bet the
"brothers" aren't keen on that and are just taking the opportunity to
rake it in!

Taxi marshalling will be in operation, as is usual when there's a Tube
strike. See:
http://www.tfl.gov.uk/info-for/media/press-releases/2014/april/tfl-sets-out-plans-to-keep-capital-moving-during-strikes

Only at Main line stations

And It doesn't say what marshalling is. A strict grammatical meaning would
simply be people making sure that no-one queue jumps. It wouldn't include
going out of their way to put customers for like destinations in the same
cab

but thanks anyway
