Can't see this being popular with the locals in Hayes and Southall
considering they both have direct bus services to Heathrow taking no
more than 20 minutes.


When the tunnel into Heathrow is congested, which happens often, the
train will offer a very attractive alternative to the bus.



Whatever happenned to the buses at Heathrow which used to go through the
cargo tunnel?
(and not having to get caught up with all and sundry in the main tunnels)

I'm not sure what traffic is allowed in the cargo tunnel, but it is
not much use if the bus is travelling from the Hayes direction, as it
runs south from the central area.

cargo traffic!

The security people stopped the buses running this way
several years ago, presumably never to return.

Does that include the inter-terminal shuttle buses? They used to run
to/from T4 through the cargo tunnel.

Air side connections can run through the tunnel. Everybody on
them has already been through security so there's no issue.

Whether they do or not, I don't know.

The inter-terminal buses were landside, so presumably they will now be
banned. Understandable, but a pity.

The best way between T123 and T4 is Heathrow Express, which is free, unlike
the exorbitant fares between Heathrow and Paddington, or the proposed
exorbitant fares to H&H on Heathrow Connect.

But the airside inter-terminal buses - the ones going between Terminal 4 and
the Flight Connections building - do indeed still use the cargo tunnel.
