Going to Terminal 4 at Heathrow?

[sbisson]

From tomorrow the Terminal 4 tube station will be closed for two years, while the line to Terminal 5 is built.

If you are travelling to T4 you can use the free shuttle bus from Hatton Cross tube station, or the free shuttle service on the Heathrow Express from the Terminal 1,2,3 tube station.

Tube passengers travelling to and from Heathrow Terminal 4 will be using a dedicated bus shuttle at Hatton Cross from January 7, 2005 for 20 months.

The change from Tube to bus is to allow for construction of the Piccadilly line extension to the new BAA Heathrow Terminal 5. London Underground's (LU) Heathrow Terminal 4 station will remain closed during the work.

Piccadilly line services will continue to run direct to and from central London to Heathrow Terminals 1, 2 & 3 station. The change will mean a slightly increased journey time to Terminal 4 of five to ten minutes. But it will actually cut journey times by Tube to Heathrow Terminals 1, 2 & 3 by a few minutes.

So that'll all be bloody awkward...

Putney-Clapham Junction-Feltham then bus shuttle? Goes to T4 first I understand. I normally use the Heathrow Express. It's the most expensive railway in the world, but damn convenient (and of course, utterly heaving from today :op).

am *not* taking big suitcases up and down the irregular stairs at Putney that I'd complain to HSE about if I wanted the station to actually be closed for months, or through the heaving mass of the Clapham underpass. do not enjoy pain! no, HE or a cab - there's only a couple of quid in it!

I intend flying to Japan dressed as a Male Kitsune with 16-foot extendable penis... Will this present any problems do you think? (aside from just turning elinor into what I think sounds like a seal...)
