Default Picc Line train indicators display Heathrow Term 5

At Hyde Park Corner station on Sunday, I noticed that the train
indicators said:

1st Heathrow Terms 123 & 5
2nd Rayners Lane
3rd Heathrow Term 4

Are trains already running in this pattern, or is the Picc just trying
to confuse tourists (and the odd Londoner)?


It's just a reminder to flyers that they need to read the terms and
conditions for using Heathrow airport. Term 5 is a new part of the
terms and conditions which specifies that all shoppers... ahem,
flyers, must carry either a platinum credit card or GBP 1,000 in cash
as they make the short 5 mile walk from security through the airport
terminal building past the glittering array of tempting retail outlets
to their departure gate

Meanwhile Rayners Lane is a mistake - it is a misspelling of Ryanair
line. Those flying with Ryanair are instructed to take the first
Ryanair line train - after a short hop to the end of the line they
will then transfer to a bus that will take them on the short journey
from the Harrow area out to London Caernarfon Airport, where they can
then catch their Ryanair flight to Vienna's Bratislava airport. Please
note that any Ryanair passengers who make use of the train indicator
will be charged an 'optional provision of essential information' fee
of £2.50 (exc. VAT) - also note that a fee handling charge of 50p
applies, and anyone paying using methods other than Ryanair payment
vouchers will be surcharged a 30% admin fee.


Now that made me genuinely ROFL!

Good man!
