That said, I imagine that however good the information given at the
Heathrow tube stations, there'll still be a fair number of air arrivees
getting as far as Osterley on the tube before then finding themselves and
their baggage on the all-stations bustitution service A from Osterley,
which runs to Turnham Green (thence District line to get further east into
town).

They've thought of this. Replacement bus service B (eastbound) from
Terminals 1&3 to Hammersmith will call at Osterley, so any passengers who
join the Piccadilly Line at Heathrow won't have to endure the all-stations
bus at Osterley.

Thanks Peter - I'd missed that. A neat solution to an inevitable
problem! I wonder if they've operated the rail replacement buses in this
manner before - I only started this thread because I thought the
separate embarkation and disembarkation points (Gunnersbury and
Hammersmith) were of mild interest.

(That, and it's a less depressing subject than talking about road
safety, or the lack thereof, which has been in the news lately for all
the wrong reasons.)
