Is that the emergency evacuation route, ara01jbb? Good photo
Not my photo, sadly. A journo from Business Traveller found it before being flown out on the inaugural LHR-SAN press junket. I don't think it's emergency only, but it has quite an incline on it to pass beneath the taxiways between the satellites.
Given that the architectural and planning quality of most major public infrastructure jobs in the UK get gradually valued engineered out of the equation, I'm delighted to see LHR's tangle gradually be rationalised with the "toast rack" of T5, T2/LHR-East and hopefully T3 as well. As
edi_local has reminded me, it's also quite incredible to see that T1 gates 31-47 (opened in 1996?) will indeed become the northern half of LHR-East's satellite terminal. Who thought such sensible forward planning would be possible in this country?
