From there, instead of going with other passengers through connections security to connect to another flight (where your BP would be checked), you can simply go to passport control and cross the UK border there. There is no train involved in this.

More detail available in the guide here: A Guide to Connecting at LHR T5

There is no train involved in that. "Due to boarding pass conformance checks at T5 even when doing terminal transfers from another terminal via tarmac shuttle buses, it's not possible for incoming passengers at LHR to get to the T5 train to get to immigration that way". There are other ways to get to Terminal 5 immigration without dealing with the conformance check. I posted about it within the past 24 hours.
