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.

It would take probably 500+ cars just to replace 1 full tube train so god
knows
how they calculate that.

By doing proper professional surveys.

Would these be the same proper professional surveys that predicted a brexit
referendum win for remain?

Doing a historical traffic survey is a rather different task to opinion
polling.

Not really - it all depends on sample size. They couldn't measure every
passenger getting off every train or bus every single car that stopped so
it's just as much extrapolation as a voting survey.
