I think Roland's problem with T5 is that the station access is not
where he wants it to be. I've never arrived there by train so
haven't experienced the problem.


I've arrived there by Tube quite a few times, and think the stations
are perfectly well situated.


The station is quite a distance from the customs exit, and by default
people seem to be sent in exactly the wrong direction (ie to the south
not the north) as they emerge.


Yes, I agree with you about the default direction, but the distance is
much less than at, say, FRA or AMS.
