The one that started it all was Oslo (Torp) which is also 54 miles away it seems; but Frankfurt (Hahn) is 65 miles, Stockholm (Skavsta) 56 miles, Stockholm (Vasteras) 54 miles, Paris (Beauvais) 42 miles.

There aren't any mansions there now, but there's still some big grand houses dotted around and about. |

(snip) The T4 trains will actually display T4 & 123 as a destination; the T5 trains will show T123 & 5 as a destination. So for people heading to T123 in a hurry, and the first train is to T4 & 123, perhaps the best strategy is to board it anyway and then lean out of the carriage at Hatton Cross to see if the platform departure indicator (assuming that there is one) shows a T123 & 5 train less than (say) eight minutes behind. PaulO I'm not sure there is a "train describer" (in endearing LU lingo) at Hatton Cross - but if there isn't one, there needs to be! |

If this is the case there could be problems if all passengers in central London who want to go to T123 & 5 (when it opens) rather than T4 wait for the appropriate train - the T4 loop trains could end up rather empty and the others rather full. I seriously doubt there are enough Heathrow passengers for it to cause significant problems. |
