I thought the plans for T6 put it in place of T123 , with a T5A & B
being built first.

I'm not sure of BAA's intended timescales, but 'Heathrow Central' would be a
new terminal on the site of and replacing T123, while T6 will be adjacent to
the railway between Hayes & Harlington and T123. Accordingly, with three
stops HEx and Crossrail trains will be able to serve T6, Heathrow Central
and T5, or T6, Heathrow Central, and T4. Do LUL have any plans to get the
Piccadilly Line to T6, and if so, how?

I'd think any such plans would basically be advanced by BAA as opposed
to LUL these days - that's broadly how the tube extension to T5 came
about. Of course LUL would be integrally involved in any such plans -
e.g. working out how the new service would run - but the model of how
things were done with T5, where BAA paid for the extension and then
got it built, would surely be followed. Apart from anything else it's
hard to see any Mayor of London exercising themselves or indeed the
TfL budget over serving a new airport terminal they don't want (and I
can't really see any future Mayor adopting a fundamentally different
policy on this).
