When does the last trains to Heathrow run? I have to fly out from
terminal 1
on Friday 14th Jan, how will I get there now??

You will still be able to get to Heathrow T123 station by Tube at all
normal times when the loop is closed. For terminal 4 there will be a
shuttle bus from Hatton Cross station.

gives the current first and last train times for Heathrow. For January I
would expect the times to be very similar for T123 station.

http://tube.tfl.gov.uk/pdf/Heathrow-T4-%20leaflet.pdf is the leaflet
explaining the arrangements. All the info is on the Tube website.

Looks like very bad planning to me - they withdraw the direct tube
service but fail to provide a convenient alternative! Surely it wouldn't
be that hard to extend the H25, so that passengers once again have a
convenient service from the rail interchange at Feltham?

Did you miss the bit about being able to use the Heathrow Express between
T1-3 and T4 for free?

No I didn't. The HEx uses a totally different station in Heathrow.

Feltham has been rebuilt into a gateway station for Heathrow, with step
free access from the platform to the bus interchange. They used to run
two direct express bus services from the T123 and T4 (going where
their numbers suggest). The T123 was subsequently absorbed into another
service, and the T4 was abolished completely. Now to get from Feltham to
Heathrow T4 you either have to change buses at Hatton Cross or change
onto the HEx at the central terminal area - which is much further from
Feltham than terminal 4 is.

Extending the H25 would provide a real alternative, but instead they're
relying on a replacement bus service.
