A couple of things:

1) I have been browsing the last two times, but this time I want to go straight from departures in to Galleries South. Is the "direct access" open from the departures level (just to the right of South security)? Saves going down the escalators and back up again!

2) T5b - I hope they don't change "B to A" departure gates too often - they quote 45 minutes to get back from T5b to T5 departures! I presume that is because you have to go thru T5 arrivals to get back to departures?

3) Is the T5b galleries lounge open yet? I heard it was an "end April" opening?

But it's nice to see the place settling down. Maybe next trip (next week) I will even risk taking baggage with me!
1) This has been well covered on here. Direct access is only available to the Concorde Room, and therefore only available to pax elligible to use that - F pax, Prems or CR card holders.

2) Pass

3) No idea, but with the delay of the T4-T5 move, I wouldn't be surprised to see this delayed some more.
