Agreed. A high speed route would improve your odds of dodging the incoming air rifle fire on the way into East Manc.

Nope! Hence the careful use of "worker" rather than staff. Everyone on site has to have an ID badge and everyone with an ID badge gets rail and HEX discounts.

oops hope you are working on the west heading runway, the People's republic of Slough might be in danger.

You can now use Oyster on HEX, which is the most expensive way to buy a ticket for that service. Being a Heathrow worker pass holder, I can travel for £5.50 single or £9.75 return, still more expensive than the tube.

You gone permie???
