Piccadilly line extension to Terminal 5/Heathrow Express extension to T5
Do we know when construction work is due to start on the Piccadilly
extension to Terminal 5 as I understand that tunneling work was due to be finished by next year. I also understand that Terminal 4 would be temporaily closed during the construction period. Likwise does any news exist on the Heathrow Express extension. Martin |

I also understand that Terminal 4 would be temporaily closed during the construction period. Tunnelling is well under way and I believe the station box is all but finished. Plans are advanced for the closure of the T4 loop to allow the T5 extension to be connected. I think the latest plan is around December. I'll try and confirm today at work, but I think we're looking at about a two year closure. -- Steve Fitzgerald has now left the building.

Will the station be in the JLE style with platform doors or will it be like T123 & Hatton Cross? B2003 |

B2003 I doubt there will be PEDs as Jubilee drivers had to receive special training for theirs - there's not much point having to train all Piccadilly drivers to do this for just one station. There may be some technical issues too but I'm not sure about those. -- Dave Arquati Imperial College, SW7 www.alwaystouchout.com - Transport projects in London |

Absolutely no idea, we've not been given that detail. Has there been a consensus regarding how it will be rendered on the map yet? If one loop goes HX-T4-T123-HX and the other goes HX-T123-T5-HX, then the diagram will need to resemble a pair of testicles at the end of the line, no? BTN |

T5 will not be on a loop. Some trains will go HX-T4-T123-HX as now and the others will go HX-T123-T5(reverse)-T123-HX So how will that work with the two platforms at T123? Will one be used exclusively for London-bound trains that have gone round the loop, and the other for bi-directional trains on a single track extension to T5? Or will it be one platform be for T5 only, and the other for both sets of London-bound trains? (which would make more sense to the traveller, but be logistically more difficult to implement, and result in a bizarre station where twice as many trains went in one direction as t'other.) BTN |
