Could they not run a shuttle service from 123 or hatton cross or does
the track/signalling not allow for it?

What so you can whinge about shuttles not connecting with main
trains ?

Or shuttle delaying main trains.

Or any of that vice versa.

6 trains an hour to T4, according to
http://www.tfl.gov.uk/corporate/medi...ntre/5507.aspx
The other 6 trains an hour to T123 & T5.
There is, of course, also the service by Heathrow Express from T123 to T4,
which will be diverted to T5, from which time Heathrow Connect will provide
a service from T123 to T4.

Hi Boltar
Hope you had a happy Christmas and are breathing in the milk of human
kindness, so for at least 5 mins when you go back to work you'll be less
grumpy.

Anyway there's quite a good chance, errr no a massive chance that no one
bothered to tell the overpaid ******* that the wrong train was departing
first, those station ******* have to put up with all sorts of **** from
punters so I do hope and expect that you told them just how useless they
are.

Who knows why it left first , I don't care about that. What I do care
about is none of those good for nothing overpaid ******* hanging
around chatting said a damn thing to us passengers so we could get on
it. Its not the first time this has happened either.

Well if it wasn't in service then the sole passenger I saw in the last
car

Now you are changing your story.

If you care to scroll back and look, you wrote ''completely empty''.

Fine , completely empty except for one person I saw. Maybe there were
more.

Well , since they were standing all of 10 foot from the driving cab
and since they were chatting to the driver and since I assume they're
not colourblind and can tell the difference between a red and green
signal, one would have hoped one of them might have thought , just for
a millisecond, "hey , shouldn't we tell the passengers this train is
going first?". But lets face it , who am I kidding. This is LU staff ,
this is Britain today. Great it isn't.

Oh FFS , does it matter if it was completely empty or had a couple of
passengers in? The point is no one mentioned to the few hundred
passengers in my train the there was another train leaving first
across the platform.

Next time it happens I'll try and count the pax in the other train
just for the pedants on here.
