London tube to Heathrow

From January 7 2005, London Underground Piccadilly line
trains heading for Heathrow's Terminal 4 station will
not go beyond Hatton Cross.

Passengers will have to take a shuttle bus from Hatton
Cross to Terminal 4.

Piccadilly line services to the Heathrow Terminal 1, 2 and
3 station will not be affected, although there will be no
direct service to this station on the weekend of January 8
and 9, 2005.

The long-term closure of Terminal 4 station is due to work
on the Piccadilly line extension to the under-construction
Heathrow Terminal 5. London Underground have said
that during the 20-month period, the Terminal 4 journey
should 'only take about five minutes longer than
now', while trips to Terminal 1, 2 and 3 will be
slightly quicker.

Around 2,500 people travel to and from Terminal 4 by Tube
each day.
