HEATHROW T4 Tube passengers should note that the Piccadilly Line service from central London will be suspended from 7 January for a lengthy period and will be replaced by a courtesy bus service from Hatton Cross. The closure is to allow for completion of the Piccadilly line extension to the new Terminal 5. Piccadilly Line services will continue to run direct to and from central London to Heathrow Terminals 1, 2 & 3 station. The change will mean a slightly increased journey time to Terminal 4 of five to ten minutes, but it will actually cut times to the central area station. Any passengers travelling to and from T4 who may have difficulty using the stairs at Hatton Cross should travel to Heathrow Terminals 1, 2 & 3 and use the free Heathrow Express to reach Terminal 4. When it comes into action during the spring the Heathrow Connect local service to Ealing Broadway using the Heathrow Express track will offer alternative access to T4.
