I'll be trying the tube to T5 next Sat early.
What destination shows for a T5 train?
Its just that the map seems to show T5 as a siding off the main loop.

Half the trains go to T5 via T123 and half essentially terminate at T4
(though you won't be kicked off), because they wait 5 minutes like
they do at other termini, before continuing in service through T1,2,3
back to Hatton Cross and central London. As you can imagine, you want
to get the T5 service (it'll say "T1,2,3 and 5" on the front and the
platform signs).

In the early morning it'll be best to get the first train, whatever
its destination, and change at Hatton Cross if necessary. This'll
allow you to catch trains coming into service out of Northfields
depot.

Also, try and get in the second carriage, and use the lifts, not the 
escalator when you get to T5. When you return, try and remember to turn 
sharp right when you enter the arrivals hall from customs.
