Seperation of Arriving and Departing Passengers
Too mean to buy a long personal title
Er, no. I don't think any redesign is needed to allow arriving passengers to walk up the existing jetway into the terminal - the opposite of what departing passengers do from the gate. You perhaps might need 1 staff person to stand at the junction of the two paths (one to immigration, the other into the terminal) to herd passengers in the right direction, but the reduction in numbers that need not be security screened would offset this 10 times over.

Raff.ele,
Yes, sorry, I didnīt explain myself properly. When I said "coming from abroad" I meant into the UK, so if you are transferring into a domestic flight (landing in the UK, although not at LHR), you will ahve to go through immigration control.

At Dublin, arriving and departing passengers mix around the area of the 100 gates (formerly A pier) with signs directing arriving passengers through passport control and onto baggage reclaim. At all the other gates arriving and departing pax are segregated.
On the Schengen point, Ireland didn't sign up simply because the UK didn't. The thinking being that having to create a physical border on the island (between Ireland and Northern Ireland) was a) not acceptable and b) more bother than requiring citizens to carry a passport when travelling in the rest of the EU. It would also have removed the already existing free travel area between Ireland and the UK.
(with apologies to Adamm.'s earlier post which, now that I read it, already describes the situation at DUB )
