T1 A Ghost Town!
I'm having a swift coffee in the SAA arrivals lounge and just thought I'd share a view from the old T1.
Landed a tad late on BD from RUH into a ghost town. There were about 4 BD and 1 EI planes on the outer domestic stands. None on the inner stands. Nothing on the 16-29(?) pier and a couple of BDs on the 3x-5x pier. So we 'still' went and parked on 55!! The walk was the longest I've done for ages but for the first time in my T1 nightmares memory, ALL the travelators were working.
No point going for IRIS as immigration was devoid of pax and overrun with UK Borders staff (4 on the EU/EEA desks!!) has anyone told them that T5 is open??
And for the first time in 20 years of early morning flights in and out of LHR, there was little or no traffic. Absolutely amazing!
Well I'm hopefully grounded for a couple of weeks and I look forward to trying out the 'bedded in' T5 in a couple of weeks time.

Reason: Atrocious typos to be expected after restocking following a 'dry' trip!
