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.


What TOC? HEX trains are opereated by BAA, who also paid for and own
the T4 tunnel/station.
