Sure, however the transit route is potentially more risky in T2 as you're entirely dependent on the police officer in the transit lounge making contact with one of BA's check-in staff in a timely manner. You then have to wait for the check-in agent to come and deliver the boarding card... which could take 20 mins, 40 mins or 2 hours.

This is probably less of an issue for BA given the schedule currently has a couple of hours turnaround time, but would still be worth making people aware of.
