I've just come across this article: www.heathrowexpress.com/news/2014-02-09-ambition-for-heathrow-reading-express-service-unveiled
At the bottom it says:
Now, from the Londonist video about the Heathrow Express we are told that only one of the platforms at Terminal 5 is used because of the fact that there are two unused platforms ready to be used adjacent to the current area. I always knew that adjacent to the existing construct, the same sort of thing lies there, but I do not understand why this means only one of the lines into Terminal 5 is ever used? Also, does anyone have a track diagram of the tunnel that leads to the unused platforms?
Thanks

Next to the platforms currently in use lie two spare platforms ready to be brought into operation as soon as the new Slough-bound track is complete.
