Anyone know where the tunnel is at Heathrow?

[BerksJack]

Remember Someone mentioning about a long tunnel at Heathrow, but can't remember which terminal it was?

Does anyone know?

On tn way to T1/2. Not that long, IMO.

Oh ok thanks. I'm off to T1 so should be able to have a couple of runs through

Just be careful. Lots of bored armed police around

Duly noted had to drop someone off at T1 so done a couple of laps but didn't take the piss as it's a 30mph limit aswell

Service Tunnel .................

The cargo tunnel is longer from memory, although not open to the public!!

[LC926]

The ART (airside road tunnel) is even longer and again not accessable to the public. It goes from T5 to other side of T3, probably as long as the hindhead tunnel

It runs parallel to the main public tunnels, access through the barrier on the left of the roundabout from M4....

There is another tunnel on the perimeter road at T5, it's not very long but there are traffic lights at the southern end so you can do a standing start
Also the cargo tunnel and service tunnel between the CTA and T5 don't have the same ring when going through in a diesel van! Just wish I could get my Cerb airside

yep, the one near T5 is very wide and quite short. Used to be a worthwhile addition after the service/main tunnels on the way to the (now defunct) Virginia Waters meets...



I assume because of security it's a very strict no no getting private vehicles airside ?..

[knight]

All vehicles need an airside pass to be able to get through security.

I wonder if he does though, they come in gate 19 so no need to use that tunnel, but it were me i'd make the odd error "oh dear taken a wrong turn again"

What part do you work in Paddy ?
