This is true. It was supposed to massively improve capacity for commuters in West London but has now morphed into a Heathrow feeder service. The impact on journeys will be dramatic as suggested by TFL. Can you imagine passengers getting on with 2 pieces of hand luggage each .
It will halve the avaliable f'cast capacity instantly.
