  • Ha,
    I was implying that the distance you have to walk from arriving at the doors of the terminal to the door of the plane was (almost) as far as walking from Slough, with exaggeration for effect.

    One possibly could walk to Terminal 5, but the approach ramp to the entrance floor does not have pavement.

    There was, (pre-Covid), provision for bike parking at T5, although, it's not clear there is sufficient security to leave a bike there for any extended period

    You don't need the terminal approach ramp, there are lifts/stairs from the ground floor. You do need to get across this bridge, or it's northern cousin, which is prohibited so it seems no walking to T5

    Kind of tempted to try now. Might take my Brompton as cover if I need to go past that point.

  • There are also the automatic rail-guided shuttles from one of the T5North car parks.
    I've never used them, so don't know if you have to show, say a car park ticket of some sort to use them.
