End of the Line No.11 - Heathrow

“you can catch planes here too” whilst talking about the worlds 7th busiest airport. Good old casual Geoff and his allegiance to trains

The hack to save £1.2 is a fine example of what makes this channel 110% British Love the series!

Business idea: "I will run upstairs and beep your card for £1" service at Hatton Cross, for people with luggage

As a matter of interest Speedbird is still the call sign for current day BA aircraft

I can't see the phrase "Heathrow Terminals 1,2,3" without imagining Jay Foreman singing it in my head

When I was at school in the late 1990s we invited the Heathrow Chaplain to come and do a sermon. He was outstanding! Afraid I can’t remember his name but of the hundreds of guests we had do sermons I remember his the most vividly!

can't wait to see whether there's a car park at this one

The true definition of a pod cast.

I see the title card is now a pre-circle line tube map, complete with Northern City Line and Middle Circle services via Addison Rd/Olympia. Keep them easter eggs coming!

British Airways still use the radio callsign Speedbird when talking to Air Traffic Control

I never knew about the Heathrow pod, now it's on my list of things to do! Thanks!

Hi Geoff. Love your videos. My mum actually worked as part of the Heathrow Chaplaincy team for a number of years, mostly out of Terminal 2. In case folks don't know, Chaplains are a key part of airport staff - they form part of emergency and evacuations plans at Heathrow and on a daily basis are supporting those who find themselves in difficult situations (perhaps being forced to travel away from family or facing travel restrictions). My mum would often spend time with airport cleaning staff and those working tills on long shifts for some moral support on graveyard shifts. They are often not known about but they do good work :-)

Used to work at Heathrow for hex can confirm Heathrow Terminal 5 is run by Heathrow Airport, all the staff (on both sides of the platforms) are Heathrow employees. Obviously there's also the west extension voids that will (hopefully) become platforms someday!

Great to see Heathrow! My Mother used to work at Heathrow Airport doing the flight announcements. When I was little she gave me a postcard of the chapel. As soon as I was old enough to start exploring London I went to Heathrow to do the Piccadilly Line and I visited the Chapel. I was also delighted when I discovered the Ultra Pods in Terminal 5, if I'm at the airport and have spare time I always have a ride on them.

I have a couple of friends who were part of the Chaplaincy Team at Heathrow before they retired. They said it was always interesting to meet folk from around the world, who used to visit the chapel and other multi faith rooms around the airport.

5:10 - I'm glad that you walked around to see the chapel past the bus station! Many's the time when I have also walked there to get away from the bustle of the waiting room whilst I was getting ready to catch my coach back home after a holiday!

You will find a chapel at basically any big airport, sometimes even with regular mass service and depending on location, even various spaces for various religions. Once you know, you’ll see them everywhere, even in very large train stations!

My Dad and I visited the Chapel in 1995 on our way to Greece. It was this cute little Modernist building, which had Aeroplanes embroidered into the crosses on the Altar Cloth. Somewhere I still have a souvenir pen from there which had flags of the world printed on it.

Who remembers the queen's building, where you could go on the roof and watch the planes land and takeoff? My gran used to take me there in the 80's on the underground. I wanted to go again but didn't realise it is no longer there. Shame. Happy days😟

So nice to see a new episode of ‘End of the Line’. I feel like I’ve been missing the notifications but I’m on time lol
