What staff bus leaves from the cycle hub.Of course there's a choice... either catch a bus or train or you drive and catch the staff bus

Unsure if the PEX bus stops there?What staff bus leaves from the cycle hub.
It doesn't stop at the cycle hub.Unsure if the PEX bus stops there?
Certainly there are cycle facilities at both PEX and E2
As shown by the fact that if you got on a bus at Harlington Corner bound for the Central Area and offered to pay I only ever saw one driver say it was free the rest all issued a ticket.Right now T4 is shut but longer term it shouldn't be.
Interesting thing about the gates though. They weren't there when I was there and I got the impression it was just as easy onto the Picc line. Thanks for the info.
Ok, I am struggling to get the inter terminal thing as I've just gone back and re read the original tweet (https://twitter.com/MZulqarnainBut1/status/1329085195224399877/photo/1) and it says LU and HEX (but not TFL rail) and the way it comes across to me is that it's only for staff to get between terminals or will it be open for all? Why is LU included but not TFL rail (Both owned by TFL and I can't see any reason for LU to be kept but not TFL Rail. With the gateline it would be easier to stop people using the already very busy Picc line).
Buses I stand by my previous point that most people who use it expect to pay the fare to get to a hotel as per all other airports or people commuting should already be paying as per almost all other commuters in the UK. Free travel isn't needed for the general public.
Yes it isIs this still in force - the suspension of The Free Travel Zone ?
Further to the post in #53, as of June 12th, the free travel zone was withdrawn for TfL buses as well.Is this still in force - the suspension of The Free Travel Zone ?

Heathrow free travel zone to end - 12 June 2021
Routes Affected: 105, 111, 278, 285, 350, 423, 482, 490, N9, N140 and U3
From Saturday 12 June TfL bus services will no longer be part of the Heathrow free travel zone. This is due to Heathrow suspending the scheme. From this date you will be required to pay for your bus journey using a contactless payment card, valid oyster card, one day travelcard or one day bus & tram pass.

Funnily enough I booked a flight earlier in the week and did not consider an overnight stop at LHR because of this.
Would it not have been £3.10? £1.55 each way?I did an overnight stay at Heathrow last week. The loss of the free travel zone was a slight annoyance but it was still only £1.50 to get from Bath Rd to the terminal so not that big a deal in the grand scheme of thins and still much cheaper than the Hoppa
And I would agree that the constant recorded announcements onboard were annoying. Would have been better to have a big notice at each bus stop.
