LONDON transit

The next 2 trains to take people from the B & C satellites to T5 both broke down, so a short wait and huge queues built up (lots of flights arrive just after 0600). The following 2 trains arrived within 20 seconds of each other but not everyone waiting made it on due to capacity limits.

Flight connection centre boarding pass check and security were both quick. The annoying forced walk past the shops to reach the lounge which is right beside security. I had a shower then a little work before the next flight. For those interested, the lounge champagnes were Bollinger Rose NV and Taittinger Brut Millesime 2004.
