Default London Crossrail likely to work any better than Thameslink?

Crossrail will serve all except T5. HEx will presumably continue to
serve all except T4.

Which will give HEx an advantage with BA pax.

The way they've served the three terminals [treating 123 as a single
point] with one through train and a shuttle has always been a dogs
dinner. BA probably has the clout to get BAA run the direct train to
whichever of T4/5 they are using this week (so to speak).


BA is fixed in T5 and T3, with a few remaining flights still in T1, soon to
be transferred.


I think we all understand that to be the case. Originally HEx went to 4
(before T5 was built). Do you think it was a co-incidence it was swung to T5?


Not at all.
