There were hoardings up last week in a similar layout to Markie's first picture. Agent was proudly suggesting that it will be ready in April - very wisely perhaps not specifying the 1st!

Told this week at LHR it would be open 'end of March' - so early in April sounds halfway realistic
Indeed - because the channel goes direct to the lounge it must mean they will actually enforce one guest only (which you can sometimes stretch to a third person in regular fast track)
badly needed though - fast track is really anything but - took me 15 mins in line the other day which for a full fare F ticket isn't brilliant...

Someone posed an interesting questions on HFP:
Because it opens directly into the F lounge, this presumably means that F lounge rules apply to the new channel. This means only one guest for a Gold unless you are flying F. Families and larger groups are presumably banned from the new channel.

Who says BA is all about cost cutting? (Waiting to get shouted at)

Why? If they're not entitled to use the lounge at the other end then where do they think they're going anyway.
Existing fast track will have to stay for silvers so Golds with too many accompanying passengers can use that
