Well spotted!

any views?


I agree with Peter that the T5-only terminal could be a weakness - given
the Airtrack journey time from Waterloo, it wouldn't compete effectively
with even the Piccadilly for the other terminals. But I suspect that T5
will eventually take a big slice of Heathrow's traffic once open.


Given that T5 will be exclusively BA AIUI, is this not a case of unfair
competition? Someone give Branson a ring...
