Default Piccadilly line extension to Terminal 5/Heathrow Express extension to T5

So, another ****ing waste of existing infrastructure then? The
Jubilee's Green Park-Charing Cross (and tunnels almost as far as
Aldwych) and the Piccadilly's Holborn-Aldwych shuttle. Now the HEX
T123-T4. Why not make use of and expand existing
expensively-tunnelled infrastructure instead of mothballing it? This
country makes me maaaaad!!!!

A complete joke.


Forward you complaints to BAA. IIRC they, or someone else, chose to resite
T5 away from its original location which would have been served by the T4
loop.


WHy should that excuse a stupid decision taken by a TOC? There is no excuse
for closing T4. So alternate HEX trains would have alternate termini, BFD.
I'm sure passengers would cope as they're going to have to on the tube anyway.
Sorry , but the guy about is right , it is just more infrastructure being
binned for no good operational reason.
