Why don't you like it? It's more convenient than getting to the T2
satellite at Heathrow, and much more scenic.


It's certainly preferable to any stupid shuttle train arrangement - the
problem with shuttle trains is that you have a waiting time involved in
your journey which, as they do not operate to a timetable, is
unpredictable. But then so's a walk through a tunnel, with travelators
if appropriate.

If it takes me 2 minutes to walk over that bridge (say), unless I'm
injured I know it will always take that.

If a shuttle train runs every 5 minutes, I have to allow 5 minutes plus
the transit time.
