LHR T5 updates for those travelling 12 May 2023
1) No HEX today due to Industrial Action, that includes inter-terminals transfers. However Piccadilly and Elizabeth lines are working normally. Elizabeth line is only 2 services an hour from T5 so check the boards before going down. There should be a service tomorrow Saturday, but it will finish early (approx 20:00 hrs)
2) UK Border - overseas passports only - not e-gates: there are unusual delays there, peaking at 100 minutes. This should go down in a few hours, staff are being brought over. The peak of arriving travellers was around 07:30 today so it should go down anyway.
3) The baggage tunnel between T5 and T3 was down, apparently now working, but there may be some delays with transferring bags between T5 and T3 for a few more hours.
4) The weather isn't great, and it's a bit breezy, so there may be some ATC and ground handling delays.
But apart from that it's all fine!
