Heathrow Terminal 4 Closed

If you want the record Guinness will want the station visited. Which we have previously done if I can take you back to 2007/2008 when we had to use the replacement bus to Shoreditch.

And indeed for my first record Sam and I had to visit T4 by replacement bus. As Nozza says, they will want it visited - the record is for visiting all 270 stations.

But will there even be a replacement bus (or any other bus) if the terminal is shut?

Maybe a regular red bus would count in this instance?

But even then, how close to the station would you be able to get? IIRC the station entrance is inside the terminal, so in all likelihood the closest you'd be able to get would be the terminal entrance.

Piccadilly line trains are running as normal to T4, albeit the doors won’t open at the station. The only question to answer is do passengers get thrown off at Hatton Cross (as xcooler suggests) or can you stay on the train via T4?

[nozzacook]

If you can stay on then the rules for a pass through would apply. But if they throw you off at Hatton Cross and you want to make a record attempt you will need to get to T4 by bus. Andi will tell you Guinness are very much a pain in the behind to deal with.

I can confirm that upon arrival at Hatton X, the T4 trains are de-trained at Hatton X with platform staff ensuring this (the doors are locally closed car by car) before the train proceeds empty around the loop.

What a surprise - NOT!

Was anyone really expecting anything different?!
