"No photography"[edit]

There were signs at the Heathrow Express side, at the entrance to the actual platforms, you know where the trolley barriers are. It said "No bikes, no photography, no smoking". In doubt, it was near the Heathrow Express sign in the Gallery, same side of the glass wall. Note that at Central station, the sign did say "No flash photography"! And yet an employee told me off, back in January! Still I did manage to take some pics at the platform before she approached me. Anyway, User:Adambro beat me to the relevant shot at T5!

As for the Tube side, I made a point of asking if I was allowed, as there were no signs. So the guy at the gate said OK, but he checked with the guy at the Info desk, he said no, but they allowed me to take the Roundel, which was the bare minimum I wanted! best, Sunil060902 (talk) 03:25, 30 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Incidentally the only other places where I have been challenged are Blackfriars Mainline on a Friday morning, and South Woodford (way out in the sticks I know) during midweek off-peak within the last few months. Contrast that with the run-up to the closure of the East London, when a driver spotted me taking pics and actually invited me into the cab when he went through the Thames Tunnel (too dark for pics though!)! best, Sunil060902 (talk) 03:44, 30 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Staffing by ICTS[edit]

The article contained the wording:

... the station is staffed by Heathrow Express and ICTS staff unlike the underground stations at Heathrow Terminal 4 and Heathrow Terminals 1-3.

Several problems with this:

  • The text gives no clue as to how this is unlike the other stations.

With this paucity of information, I could work out a decent way of either disambiguating or walking around the issue. So for now I've deleted the whole phrase above. I'm sure there is some good meaning to be had here, it is just that the previous words didn't deliver that meaning and I didn't know enough to fix it. If you can, please do. -- Chris j wood (talk) 18:19, 20 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Googling helps, Chris! see: http://www.icts.co.uk/01_about.htm best, Sunil060902 (talk) 01:59, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrect tube exit figures[edit]

The data available from TfL (http://data.london.gov.uk/dataset/london-underground-performance-reports) suggests that the tube exit figures for 2013 4.05M, not the 8.14M listed. The latter figure is actually for Terminals 1, 2, and 3. I tried to find how to edit this, but the Infobox page says they're done automatically by transclusion, and whatever's pulling the numbers is getting it wrong.

WikiProject Airports assessment[edit]

Just assessed this article against B-class criteria, I've rated it C for the following reasons:

  • The lead is insufficiently clear exactly how the station is shared and with whom, and it's not immediately clear which services serve the station. (Had to do a double-read.)
  • Lead is too long for the rest of the article, and contains less salient information: the content about free transfer and the architecture should probably be in the body.
  • I know it's fairly modern, but the article could do with a brief history of the station and how it came to be built. The content about the architecture could also use expansion.
  • I've passed the References and Citations criteria as it's mostly good, but the Connections section really needs a reference or two.

I'll move to fix the obvious stuff when I return from a short editing break. (1)AnotherNewAccount (talk) 15:02, 2 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
