I worked at WLT between 1978 and 1980 when the BABS (pre-Amadeus reservations system) mainframes lived there.

IIRC the check-in and bus service had already stopped by then. As posted above, the building was demolished and the site on Cromwell Road is now occupied by Sainsburys.

In more recent years, the Piccadilly line was extended west from Hounslow West to serve Hatton Cross (1975) and Heathrow Terminals 1, 2, 3 (1977). In 1986, the Heathrow service was developed into a loop, to serve the new Terminal 4.
