Airport workers (overall, there's almost one for each passenger-per-day through the airport). -- Roland Perry Really?! That's a somewhat astounding stat. Regarding passenger numbers at Hatton Cross, the figures on Wikipedia are for 2006 - and from January 2005 (I think) until September 2006 the Piccadilly line loop to Terminal 4 was closed for construction of the junction and line to the new Terminal 5 station. Therefore for over eight months of that year, most of those arriving by tube and heading for T4 would have exited at Hatton Cross to catch the replacement bus to T4. 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". 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. Aren't all the buses free or did they stop that? tim |
