LHR..T5B to T3 New Bus Transfer
There are comments on the AA site that there is now a Faster T5B Bus Connection to T3 thereby avoiding the shuttle train to The Main A Terminal.
Does anybody have any documented info on this facility I am unable to find any information on the Heathrow Airport website.
URL Links appreciated.

I'm sure my bus from T5A stopped at one of the T5 satellites before going to T3, so this is probably not a new thing.
If it is possible then they'll have signs in the satellite saying so.

This has been operational for several months.

Based on my observations, the driver radios to T5B after leaving T5A asking if there are any passengers. If the answer is "yes" or "maybe" the bus goes via T5B. There may be a more direct route if the answer is "no", but I haven't enough paid attention.
