Heathrow Free Travel Area

2011, Clive Page remarked: But a question: to get from T123 to T4 you have to change at Hatton Cross don't you, as all trains go clockwise around the route. I presume that's allowed free on the new Oyster-card arrangement? It says "journeys between", without ruling that out as a route, indeed it's the only route. -- Roland Perry |

And although indirect, it's an easy cross-platform interchange at Hatton X. |

31 Dec 2011, " remarked: How long as the Heathrow Free Travel Area existed for busses? The "Heathrow Freeflow" project started studying the idea in 1995, but information is very thin on the ground about when the buses actually began running. This site has pictures of buses it says were acquired in 1995 for Freeflow, but that may be a mistake based on the project start date, given the lack of other material to confirm it: http://www.countrybus.org/Dart/DEL.htm Otherwise, the oldest references I can find anywhere (including news, baa etc sites) is on usenet (uk.railway) in Sept 2004, and on a site which says it was last updated in November 2003: http://www.notrog.plus.com/busroutes...owfreezone.htm and a reference elsewhere to hotel free shuttles being scrapped in ~2003 as a result of the Hotel Hoppa part of the Freeflow scheme. -- Roland Perry |

I thought that was longer ago - I have a distinct memory of going outward on a trip on a free shuttle, and using the Hotel Hoppa on the way back, and this was far earlier - 1996?

Maybe, but there's a dearth of evidence for this; if you can find any, it would help. -- Roland Perry |
