Default Heathrow Piccadilly Line Closure

Anyway, I'm still surprised that T4 station is closing to
passengers a whole
day before the engineering possession starts. Some of the wheelchair
passengers who decide to get the tube to T123 and then the HEx to T4
will
end up being taken non-stop through the T4 station. They'll be
rather
annoyed, especially if they miss their planes because they didn't
know in
advance that the possession was taking place. And they'll be even
more
annoyed if they ever find out that LU shut T4 station a day early
just so
they can get their trains all pointing the "right way around", when
every
Picc depot seems to have coped fine with trains in random directions
every
night since 1987.

Isn't this just another exemplification of what lay behind my
original posting
in this thread: the utter contempt in which passengers are held?
Wouldn't it be
so much nicer for the Underground and the twits that seem to run it,
to have
rid of passengers altogether?


Except, its not all of them going around the loop on the friday. Only
those that need to be turned around will do so, the others will go to
T123 without going around the loop. So, only some of the passengers
will sent through a closed station.
