It first became an intermediate terminus on the Piccadilly Line and the first trains to Heathrow terminated here. It was built to tube line standards rather than those of the District Line. The platforms are in a tunnel but constructed as cut and cover and the tiling on central columns features patterns made up from the British Airways Speed bird logo. The station building is in brutalist concrete and includes a bus station. In 1986 Terminal 4 opened with a new line which acts as a loop to the other Terminals.  In the 1970s there were island platforms and a ticket hall at surface level plus below surface platforms.

Thanks for posting. I recently crossed Hatton Cross on the London Loop. I was intrigued by the map reference to a cavalry Tunnel on the loop going roughly NW on the River Crane. Surprised to find it was not really a military tunnel but for the River Crane overspill! (That is whenever that occurs).
