Someone showed me this evening TfL's press release of 18 July on the
Piccadilly Line extension to T5, which I had missed when it was issued. On
that day BAA handed over the extension to LU. The press release is at
http://www.tfl.gov.uk/corporate/medi...ntre/5507.aspx

Ken Livingstone is quoted as saying "This is a major milestone in the
delivery of the new Piccadilly Line extension to Heathrow Terminal 5. From
March 2008, passengers will benefit from faster, more frequent services on
the line along with increased capacity."
I assume that by "faster" he means that they will absorb some of the
generous recovery allowances in the current timetable.

But I wonder how he justifies the "more frequent" tag?

The way Ken spins things, he might just mean there are 'faster, more
frequent
services on the line' to T5, compared to the current service to er.. T5
