16/01/2008 - London Lite
In message
, at 13:39:36 on Thu, 17 Jan 2008, Mizter T remarked: Nevertheless taking the tube from Hatton Cross to is a nifty way of getting to and from the central Heathrow complex (i.e. terminals 1,2 & 3). One could presume that many local workers use this route, perhaps arriving at Hatton Cross by bus or car (whether being dropped off or parking in the car park) - and indeed I dare suggest this might well be regarded as a nifty route by many others "in the know". I wasn't really thinking about those airport workers, but I think BA may have quite a large staff car park in the vicinity. One might expect them to have a private shuttle bus for staff, though. Actually accessing the central Heathrow complex on foot is no longer possible - though there is apparently a free shuttle bus that goes through the tunnel that emerges in the north by Bath Road/the A4. Wikipedia tells me that there are two smaller tunnels that did used to be dedicated for pedestrians and cyclists, and taxis, wasn't it? though these have now been modified to take a lane of cars, with cyclists apparently having priority and pedestrians getting booted out. I'm mildly intrigued - one day I'll go and investigate this arrangement. The smaller tunnels are also planned to be repurposed yet again - for phase 2 of the pod-trains (if the trial at terminal 5 is a success). -- Roland Perry |
