Apparently Heathrow T4 tube station has fewer passengers than West
Harrow and West Finchley!

T4 is the quietest Heathrow LU station, but the numbers may be lower
than usual as that report covers a period when BA was moving out and the
terminal was being refurbished for its new tenants (Air France,
Alitalia, etc). The T4 station also has quite a poor Tube service,

Alternate Heathrow Piccadilly trains serve T4, which therefore has a
train every 10 minutes, which is the same frequency as trains to T5.

and maybe some pax use the free Heathrow Express service to T123.

It's actually the Heathrow Connect trains that provide the free T4T123
service, 4 trains per hour, with alternate trains running through to
Paddington. The lower fares on HC (compared to HEx) may tempt more
people to take the faster alternative to the Piccadilly than at T5.
