The underground is free with Oyster or contactless bank cards between the Heathrow terminal stations. Travelling between T5 and T4 entails changing trains at Hatton Cross (I'd definitely use the 480 or 492 bus if I was doing that journey) but entering or leaving the Underground at Hatton Cross for any of the Heathrow terminals incurs a charge of £1.50 off peak and £1.70 peak. Totally insignificant in the grand scheme of things but just one of life's little quirks that annoys me because the bus is free
