Not entirely clear whether it's because BAA can't afford it, or
whether level crossing delays are an insuperable obstacle.

I've been intending to ask whether anyone's been closely following
developments on the Airtrack front for a little while - and now this
happens - most disappointing. I had wondered just how well this
project might progress, what with Philip Hammond being a local MP and
seemingly not being too keen on it - hardly an original thought I'm
sure.

Surely the level crossings aren't just an Airtrack issue? Haven't they
closed at least one crossing on the Windsor lines in the last 50 or 60
years? I have a vague recollection of Dyer's Lane closing to road traffic
when I was a child. It has a footbridge these days.
