I guess you guys don't actually do the journey much. What proportion of BA's outward domestic pax get to Heathrow on the HEx ? 2% ? When driving, the easiest way was into the Park One facility northside, then they shuttled you straight to the T1 door and the remaining distance was fairly short. No being mixed up with international passengers, no being forced to walk through a shopping centre.
Just because the HEx takes 2 mintes from starting from its platform at T123 to stopping at its platform at T5, doesn't mean the overall travel time is only up by 2 minutes. Even the Piccadilly Line only has half the number of its trains to T5 compared to the numbers that used to go to T1.
