Heathrow Free Travel Area
In message , at 14:38:19 on
Thu, 29 Dec 2011, Graham Harrison remarked: And how many airline passengers have Oyster cards? Quite a few I would imagine, given the number of people living in Greater London who have them and who might well be flying out of Heathrow. And the thousands and thousands of staff who work in and around Heathrow. Why are the staff taking trains from one terminal to another? If their job requires moving around the airport I'd expect the employer to provide an [airside] alternative. Not everyone has an airside pass. In fact, these days, they try and restrict the number. So this is landside staff who have jobs in multiple terminals. Seems like a small subset, being that far away from anything airside (and most airlines only have check-in staff in one terminal). -- Roland Perry |

Furthermore, some airlines use handling agents whose staff work in multiple terminals. Then add in cargo staff who may need to move from the Cargo terminal. Commuting staff getting from car parks to places of work. There's a surprising amount of landside movement among people who work at the airport. |

Sure; there's all the landside shops and their supply chain. But are they hopping around on the tube during working hours? Furthermore, some airlines use handling agents whose staff work in multiple terminals. Those are the ones I expect the employers to lay on special transport for.

On the tube? Hatton Cross isn't in the free area. -- Roland Perry No, although travel via it will be for tube journeys from T123 to T4. |

remarked: On the tube? Hatton Cross isn't in the free area. No, although travel via it will be for tube journeys from T123 to T4. And very indirect. But the remark was aimed at potential free-travelling airport employees, many of whose workplaces are actually near Hatton Cross rather than the passenger terminals. -- Roland Perry |
