DEFINITELY would avoid T5 during it's first week of operation at least. Unless of course you particularly want to be one of the first to use it and aren't too worried about delays!

Is there anyway to transfer from T4-T5 landside. Usually when flying YYZ-LHR-MAN I like to use the T4 Arrivals Lounge and then take the HEX to T1. Now for April with the YYZ flights still arriving T4 and the MAN flights departing from T5 will this still be possible or will I be forced to transfer airside?

Tis rather. ALG (albeit described as as GT operation) is slated here as moving to T3 with MAD, BCN, LIS et al.
I can only imagine it is a misplacement, it doesn't tally with any of the info in the Timetables or any level of common sense!

Impact of T5 on rail services
(compiled from various sites)
Picadilly line
• When the Piccadilly line Extension opens, Piccadilly line services to Heathrow will operate as follows:
- Central London - T4 (via T4 Loop) - T123 (northern platform) - Central London
- Central London - T123 (southern platform) - T5; this service then reverses as follows) T5 - T123 (northern platform) - Central London
• The current service patterns are as follows:
- Central London - Terminal 4 -Terminals 123 - Central London
• The Piccadilly line extension to Heathrow Terminal 5 is wholly funded by Heathrow Airport Ltd, a subsidiary of BAA. The Terminal 5 station will be operated by BAA via the Heathrow Express Operating Company
• From 13 January 2008, twelve trains per hour will operate each day at peak time from Central London to the Heathrow Branch of the Piccadilly Line
• These services split at Hatton Cross:
- Six trains per hour will travel to Terminal 4, where they will stand for approximately 7 minutes, before returning to Central London via Terminals 123
- The remaining 6 trains per hour will run from Hatton Cross to Terminals 123 and then onto Terminal 5. These return from Terminal 5 to Terminals 123 and then direct to Hatton Cross
- Public service to Terminal 5 commences 27 March 2008
• The combination of these services will provide 6 trains per hour from Central London to Terminals 123 but 12 from Terminals 123 back to Central London.
The Heathrow Express, which is operated by BAA, will have a service that departs from London Paddington Station every 15 minutes and stops at Terminals 123 and Terminal 5. It will not serve Terminal 4 anymore.
The total journey time to Terminal 5 from Paddington will be 23 minutes. Passengers who need to get to Terminal 4 can do so by changing to the free inter-terminal transfer service at Terminals 123.
Heathrow Connect services will be extended from T123 to T4, providing a half-hourly service; alternating with Heathrow Connect would be a half-hourly shuttle service between T123 and T4.
