London taxis taking passengers
from T4 to T123 and reverse.


Would anyone do that? They must be nuts... unless taxis are allowed through
the cargo tunnel (which I don't think they are).

I suspect *they* are from the race: American, they seem to get
in a taxi queue, just because it is there

It happens a lot at night time when the buses (free or otherwise) do not
provide the service. There are also the nearby hotels to each of the
terminals that customers can't wait to get to :-)

And I suspect that you always will be able to. Checking tickets
for short hop pax on this section is unlikely to be cost-effective


Not to mention annoying for transfers from one terminal to another.

I believe BAA insist that all transport within the airport is free. I
think buses between Heathrow Central and the North area are also free.


I thought with the start of the Heathrow Express service transfers between
T4 and T123 were no longer free on the tube.


Thats how its advertised. Whether there are ticket checks on each platform
is another matter.
