It seems more common than I thought looking at this.
Yep, but only from "high risk" countries. Thank god my wife got her UK citizenship before all this nonsense went live, screw dealing with additional frustration and costs,

Yeah but it stops terrorism (our airports excuse for it).
I guess you got fined £80 because you didn't pay?
I paid when I was on the shuttle bus, it wasn't luck. Hence the £5.
As your Parking Charge Notice does not comply with the requirements of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 (Schedule 4), you are, in law, unable to hold the registered keeper of the vehicle liable for the parking charge; I suggest therefore that you contact the driver. As there is no legal requirement placed on the registered keeper to identify the driver, I will not be doing so.'.
No-one pays APCOA. Going into a zone and driving through it CANNOT lead to a parking charge, because no parking took place. Immediately ticketing for driving in is not allowed. In future send them this (making sure you do not tick any box which identifies you as the driver):
Pretty sure that advice is now well outdated... IIRC parking companies now have a legal right to request who the driver was, and if the RK fails to do that then they themselves automatically become liable.
Seems like a tool to manage illegal immigration by pre screening people from high risk countries who intend to pass through the UK with aim of reducing incidence of transit passengers claiming asylum etc.
People complain about uncontrolled immigration, people complain when there is a control in place.
First world problems.
Less aircraft cluttering up UK airspace is fine with me.
Does anyone actualy use Heathrow as a transit airport? I always felt it was a Terminal ( excuse the pun ) airport.
Where do people come from and then take connecting flights to where? The US?
Got someone flying from Saffrica to Berlin in a couple of weeks, British Airways. Stopover at Heathrow, apparently he needs a transit visa, even though his stopover is only 90 mins.
