One down, one to go

Hurrah! BAA want to demolish Heathrow Terminal Two. Good riddance to it I say. It's a horrible, tiny, smelly nasty place. Now if they could just get rid of terminal 4 as well, it would make my decade.

Can any of my readers confirm that terminal 4 wasn't originally designed as a passenger terminal? It would explain a lot of things but I don't know if it's just an urban myth.

The rumour I heard was that they first got permission to build a cargo terminal and then turned it into a passenger terminal at a later stage in the project (the idea being to get it built quicker and without having to wait for drawn-out planning approvals in advance, etc, etc).

As for the Tube.... I don't think it's closed for renovation. I believe they're doing work to extend it to Terminal 5 and can only do this if they close the T4 part of the loop.
