edit: 20 second “research” - looks like they may have a fleet of buses somewhere in reserve?

Thanks notquiteaff, I had also wondered the same thing as even at large airports like ATL and LHR that have satellites, they have tunnels that can be used even when the trains are running. The bus angle sounds like a disaster especially now with the much larger crowds going to N and S. At least S now has the overhead walkway when it opens. It may be for international arrivals only but in an emergency, it is at least a way to get passengers from S to A without a bus.
