Anyway, what is Ryanair's most ridiculous 'renamed' destination
airport?

The one that started it all was Oslo (Torp) which is also 54 miles
away it seems; but Frankfurt (Hahn) is 65 miles, Stockholm (Skavsta)
56 miles, Stockholm (Vasteras) 54 miles, Paris (Beauvais) 42 miles.

Clapham (Junction) 2 miles, Islington (Highbury &) 1 mile

Mornington Crescent 26 miles (yes, really; Mornington is a road near
Welwyn).

....but oh dear, we could go on all day about this!

Loughborough (Junction), 116 miles.

Which reminds me, given the potential for confusion it has unwittingly
spawned, I must find out why Loughborough Road, on the edge of
Brixton, was so named...

Named after Lord Loughborough, who once owned a mansion there.

Thanks Paul. I'll read up on him at some point. There aren't any
mansions there now, but there's still some big grand houses dotted
around and about.

All (Heathrow) trains do call at T123, just that
the T4 ones take about 10 minutes longer to get there.

(snip)

The T4 trains will actually display T4 & 123 as a destination; the T5
trains will show T123 & 5 as a destination.

So for people heading to T123 in a hurry, and the first train is to T4
& 123, perhaps the best strategy is to board it anyway and then lean
out of the carriage at Hatton Cross to see if the platform departure
indicator (assuming that there is one) shows a T123 & 5 train less
than (say) eight minutes behind.

I'm not sure there is a "train describer" (in endearing LU lingo) at
Hatton Cross - but if there isn't one, there needs to be!

If this is the case there could be problems if all passengers in
central London who want to go to T123 & 5 (when it opens) rather than
T4 wait for the appropriate train - the T4 loop trains could end up
rather empty and the others rather full.

I seriously doubt there are enough Heathrow passengers for it to cause
significant problems.
