I was greeted by a load of London Transport staff at Heathrow 123 station
this morning, telling me there was no Piccadilly Line service. I asked why?
and was told that the train drivers were walking the new tunnels to T5!
Surely this would not affect the H123 to Cockfosters service?

There was a planned closure of Hatton Cross and Heathrow 123 yesterday.

Am I correct in saying Heathrow Terminal 4 is the least used tube station on
the network?

No, it's used by a train every 5 minutes for most of the day, like the
rest of the Heathrow branch.

Oh, did you mean passenger use? :-)

I doubt it's the least used, but the LU site is still showing 2005
figures, when T4 station was closed.

Whenever I've used T4, there were always at least a few people getting
on and off. There must be quiet suburban stations where no-one gets on
and off some trains, which are probably less frequent too.

Surely T4 station has another claim to fame -- is it not the only
single-platform, one-way station on the Underground?
And I can't think of any other stations with no direct exit to the
surface without passing through a non-LU building.

I would guess T4 is one of the busier stations on the network, in the top
third.

Euston?
Walthamstow Central?
Marylebone?

Maybe Waterloo (W&C)?

I believe Moor Park's exits are both in a private estate.

Yes, I should have been clearer -- I meant without passing through a
non-station building. I did think of Waterloo W&C and realised there'd
be other similar national rail stations where the Tube exit was on the
station concourse. I hadn't thought of the Moor Park situation though.

Moor Parks exits form part of a Public Footpath and this passes
through the Subway too.

Other stations where the LUL entrance/exit is via another building is
High St Kensington, Bond Street, Hammersmith (Dist & Picc), Fulham
Broadway - cant think of any others at the moment!

Bond St station has two exits direct to the street, one of which is in
Stratford Place.

Hammersmith (Dist & Picc), Fulham Broadway

I think Fulham Broadway has an exit to the street, but it is only open
during footie matches.

Yes, I think that's right.
