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


It has the same level of service as T5 (every 10 minutes). I'm
noticing it to be much busier on my trips through the past few weeks
so something must have happened.


Probably because more airlines have recently moved there from T2 and T3
(though BA and Qantas kangaroo route flights have moved from T4 to T3):

T2 closes at the end of this month, but must already be something of a
shabby ghost town, as most of its tenants have departed.
