Did you know there are currently four stations you can travel between on the tube network, and not get charged a penny? Geoff took his trusty Oyster to west London to make sure the rumours were true.

Stations towards the ends of lines 'above ground' often have their barriers left open at odd times of day (eg evenings) due to 'station staff shortages' so I suspect there's a fair bit of local travel taking place (illicitly) between such stations for free too!

A number of years ago go there used to be a bus service between terminals 1 2 3 and 4 but then the service was removed because of the underground. Heathrow had an agreement with London Underground (the days before TFL) that all its passengers could travel for free who was connecting to a different terminal and that's the reason this service is free.

Hi very informative and in your video showing the Heathrow direct line from the front cab the Heathrow gentleman says you can travel between the terminals for free. However if you look at the flight connections section on Heathrow website they never recommend leaving the terminal instead using the free buses even connecting between local flights. I am really unsure why as while transferring between 5 - 3 and even 5 - 5 I had a baggage check and several ticket checks also there where airline ticket counters and a border control check on my return flight? Could you maybe do a race for us?

I wonder how much this gets used. The overwhelmingly vast majority of Oyster card holders are going to be London residents, who are therefore unlikely to be connecting through Heathrow, rather than departing or arriving. There will be some people who would have a card but not live in London and might pass through Heathrow, and that would be people who have previously visited London and picked up a card. That would rely on those people a) knowing about this, and b) remembering to find and take their Oyster cards. Would be interesting to know how often this actually gets used.

If you travel directly between the stations, you won't be charged. Going out and in at Hatton Cross, and then going to the terminals will still count as an outside journey.

How strange that it doesn't charge you for travelling between multiple times in a day, even though that's clearly not going to qualify as "interchange" for flight connections, At the same time, if you touch in at a Tube/Overground station, but then immediately catch a bus outside it, the Oyster & Contactless systems still charge you full fare and term it an "incomplete journey", even though they know you have just travelled away from there (this happens at stations with readers but no barriers, where people enter and discover delays, so don't think to touch out as they haven't been anywhere). To add insult, the online system doesn't allow you to choose the same station at which you entered as "the station where you ended the journey", even though it was!

I think they would have to renumber them, if terminal 1 is permanently demolished as just having terminals 2 to 5 seems a bit strange

The one major airport in the U.S. with a train system is Atlanta. Doesn't cost anything but it only goes to the terminals.

Actually, Terminal 1 is gone for good. They are simply expanding the newly rebuilt Terminal 2 so that it covers the ground previously covered by both T1 and T2.

Geoff, have a look at the Heathrow Free Travel Zone. One can travel to Heathrow from Zone 1 and have it charge as travelling from Zones 1-5 by stopping at Hatton Cross, and then hop on a bus to one of the terminals for free within the zone. Saves a few pennies.

Heathrow to London with the Piccadilly line is maybe the cheapest airport to city transport in Western Europe. Of course is tiring and lengthy. Heathrow express is faster without stops except the terminals but much more expensive.

Are there other ways to travel between the terminals for free? I don't think it would be right to charge travelers who are only transferring flights and don't have an Oyster card but need to change terminals to continue their trip. At the Minneapolis/St Paul International Airport in Minneapolis, MN, USA the Blue Line light rail train, which has stops at both of the airport terminals, is free if you only go between the terminals, no ticket or anything required. If you go beyond the airport you have to have a ticket or use Metro Transit's (the company that runs the bus and train system in the Twin Cities) fare card. This is the only transportation between terminals and it operates 24/7, unlike the rest of the train system (when the rest of the system is shut down one train operates as a shuttle between the two terminals). Then again, turnstiles and gates are not used at any of the stations, unlike on the Underground in London.
