There was a busy Piccadilly Line service to Hounslow long before the

of its Heathrow custom but Hounslow East and Boston Manor will still
generate considerable business.

Actually, I think it'll keep quite a lot of its Heathrow business, too:

many people (including me), it will remain the most convenient way of
getting to the airport, even after the full Crossrail service commences.

yep me too

Once ensconced in my new abode it will be District to Earls Court, change
onto the Picc.

Why not use the much easier cross-platform change at Barons Court?

Or even Hammersmith.

Baron's Court is slightly better.


My only reason is that a couple of times I have overtaken the District
Line train between there and Hammersmith and caught an earlier train to
Richmond than I otherwise would. For some reason the tube trains seem
to take a minute or so less between the two.


We were talking about changing *from* the District to the westbound
Piccadilly, so that's another reason to change at Barons Court.
