Heathrow Free Travel Area
"Roland Perry" wrote in message ... 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 Not everyone works for an airline. 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. |
