Thankfully a bit more low-key than the 'triumphant' opening of T5 in 2008!

Yes, they're sensibly phasing it in gradually over several months. I'm not
sure of the plans for T1 after this -- some of its gates will be
transferred to the new T2, but I assume the rest of T1 will then be rebuilt
in phases. I think it'll all be called T2, leaving T1 as the number for the
new terminal for the third runway.

Terminal 1 will be closing fairly soon, AIUI.

I think ultimately it will be called Heathrow East, with T5 becoming
Heathrow West.

Those were the names they used about a decade ago, but I've not seen them
in any recent documents.

They are still being used in Heathrow's third runway proposal.

It's funny how that document doesn't mention terminals 3 and 4. I know they
have plans to extensively redevelop T3 as well, getting rid of the
old-fashioned cul de sacs that cause aircraft traffic jams, but I've not
seen any plans for how T4 will develop.

Also I think the East and West terms are project names, rather than the
names passengers will see.

And T4? Heathrow South?

Yes, on that basis it would, with T3 becoming Heathrow Central and T6 being
Heathrow North. But I think they'll probably stick to numbers.

T1 will be a spare name soon, as T2 has been recently. Radio 4 today
reported that T2 will be dubbed "Queen's Terminal".
