It is amazing that the whole place works at all!<\/p>\n
Mostly!<\/p><\/div>\n
The most important thing is to buy a ticket, but a bit of tapping and scrolling does lead to a section headed “Timetables<\/span>“, And this is what you get for an HEx timetable at 15o0 approx yesterday afternoon.<\/p>\n <\/p><\/div>\n Really? Same times past each hour at each station? Hmmm?<\/p><\/span><\/div>\n … with different but correct times<\/span>.<\/p><\/span><\/div>\n The dittoed pale blue is Heathrow Express – ludicrously over priced and dumping the unwary in Paddington, often nowhere near their hotel so they need to take a tube, bus or taxi.<\/p><\/span><\/div>\n And here, credit where credit is due, we are offered a full timetable.\u00a0<\/p>\n The above is a half hourly segment which shows a 30 minute frequency from Terminal 5<\/span> (by far the busiest of the two extremities; then a 15 minute frequency from Terminal 4<\/span> (by very far the quietest of the two termini).<\/p><\/span><\/div>\n Oh dear! You only get first and last train tines and nothing else.\u00a0<\/p><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n It is “all” if you are travelling between terminals for free but not very helpful if you are hoping to ride into central London or even beyond. A line diagram would be useful …\u00a0<\/p><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
