I used to work near heathrow and the number of people travelling there
by
private car was a small percentage of the total.

Total public transport (by passengers) has crept up to 40% over the last
decade (from 35%). Then there's the staff.


I suspect that a far larger percentage of staff travel by PT, as being
dropped off by a relative every day isn't exactly practical, and paying 20
quid a day to park is going to take a big chunk out of someone's NMW
salary (obviously not so for flight crew)


You know that's what the staff car park costs?


no

I just assumed that it wasn't going to be free, like it isn't at most
hospitals


Also the antisocial hours involved for many don't chime well with PT


there's' 24 hour PT available to LHR
