Heathrow Airport's new Termhnal Two has opened to passengers following

But the opening has been very carefully managed to avoid

the chaotic scenes witnessed at the airport just a few years ago.

Here's our Transport Correspondent, Tom Edwards.

Light, cavernous, but not that busy. Welcome to terminal two with smiles

and champagne as the opening went pretty well. How are you finding it?

It is fine. The old terminal was dark and this is much nicer. It is

an improvement. This was thd arrival an improvement. This was thd arrival

of the first flight. Only 34 will use the new terminal today. Bosses

said they learned lessons from the opening of terminal 56 years ago.

There were delays, cancellations and lost bags. This time there were many

rehearsals. It is sweetness and light compared to the catastrophic

opening of terminal five in 2008. Terminal two opened in 1955. The new

terminal, an attempt to improve the passenger experience, cost ?2.5

billion. This is also about expectation management. This has

been a very soft launch, only running the terminal at 10%

capacity. Heathrow also want the message to be they can expand and

deliver new infrastructure like this. Heathrow bosses say this

building is an essential part of further expansion. The kind of costs

that will be involved buildhng a that will be involved buildhng a

third runway is similar to what we have spent. Not a penny of public

money has gone into this expansion. We can deliver all of that for

London, privately, and on btdget. We London, privately, and on budget. We

can deliver a third runway barely ten years away. We have 17 flight a

day and it is a really important airport for us. It is important to

breed and grow. Expansion t`lk airport for us. It is important to

breed and grow. Expansion t`lk might not please local residents or

campaigners. Whilst the opening of terminal two is about passengers

today, it is also about Heathrow's tomorrow. Now it is time for the

weather. It has been a bit of a grim day

today, but we can be a bit more today, but we can be a bit more

optimistic for tomorrow. Thdre will optimistic for tomorrow. There will

be some sunshine on offer dtring the be some sunshine on offer during the

day. But overnight we have got cloud and rain sweeping across London.

Some of those outbreaks of rain will be heavy in the early hours of

Thursday morning. The main band of rain will have cleared away and

temperatures generally around eight or 10 degrees. It is a fairly dry

and fine morning and by the afternoon there will be a fdw

afternoon there will be a few scattered showers. This is the

outlook for London over the next couple of days. You may have just

heard the mention of the risk of storms at the weekend in regional

forecasts. That depends on how this cloud in the Atlantic interacts with

humid air developing over the rest of Europe. Today has been a pretty

wet Wednesday across many areas. of Europe. Today has been a pretty
