By Tube if you want. You'll just get to Terminal 1 a few minutes
earlier than usual, with the T4 loop being out of use.

IIRC there is a replacement bus service from Hatton Cross. The nice people
at 020 7222 1234 will be able to tell you for certain.

Terminal 4 station closes from Friday 7 January, although some trains
will run non stop via the loop for turning purposes on that day as
required.

All trains will terminate at Hatton Cross Saturday 8 and Sunday 9
January. (Just how long does it take to scotch and clip a set of
points?) for enabling works for the closure.

From Monday 10 January a new timetable (TT40) will be in place for 20
months which means all trains will run direct to Heathrow 123

Sorry misread, saw it as needing to get to T4.

Still, the number is good for travel info.

You will still be able to get to Heathrow T123 station by Tube at all
normal times when the loop is closed. For terminal 4 there will be a
shuttle bus from Hatton Cross station.

http://tube.tfl.gov.uk/content/first...piccadilly.pdf
gives the current first and last train times for Heathrow. For January I
would expect the times to be very similar for T123 station.

http://tube.tfl.gov.uk/pdf/Heathrow-T4-%20leaflet.pdf is the leaflet
explaining the arrangements. All the info is on the Tube website.

Dangit. Won't be here to bash those crossovers.

for 20 months which means all trains will run direct to Heathrow
123

I wonder if TT40 bears any resemblance to the pre-1986 timetable,
before the Heathrow loop even existed.

Ask nicely and I might be able to help. ;-)

It seems unlikely. For a start, I think the Turnham Green service hours are
different now.

Are they running a special timetable prior to the closure in order to get
all the trains the same way around during the closure, or is there no such
thing as a 1973 stock being "the wrong way around"?

Furthermore, will the in-car line maps that show T4 closed be produced in
two versions for the two sides of the train?
