It's not even much faster if you're going to/from say Dalston where I
am - the Piccadilly is only about 15 mins longer and the changes are easier.

Such a shame, then, that everyone is forced to use HEx, and no passengers
are allowed to use other ways of getting to the airport.


I wonder if someone has figures for HEx, HC and Picc loading from Heathrow.
HEx has 4tph, HC has 2tph and the PIcc has at least 12tph in the peaks.


I posted all the numbers about six months ago in a previous thread.


Yes, I thought you had posted them a while ago, but couldn't remember
when.
