Imagine those poor people Landing at Heathrow Airport after Flying to
the UK overnight and they have no clue what has happened.
All thet want to do is get to their London Hotel to get some sleep.
they have to go through Immagration/customs at LHR,then they find out
busses/tube are not running
If the roads going into london are bumper to bumper.a taxi ride would
cost WAY too much.

WRONG

*if* the Heathrow Express was working then this is the most expensive
railway journey in the UK (or possibly the world) on a cost per mile
basis.

For 3 or more people it is actually cheaper to take a taxi.
