Actually, about 5 years ago Hillingdon Council were
talking about extending the Piccadilly Line from
Uxbridge (sic) to Heathrow. AFAIK it never made it
into any published documents. I don't know what
route was considered, but running via Hayes couldn't
make the scheme any more implausible than it already was.


Is it so implausible? I don't know about Hayes, but
couldn't they just run a loop round Ealing Common depot?


They were talking about a direct-ish new build route from Uxbridge to
Heathrow.

That's why my vehicle's the Piccadilly Line -
It's the size of a county and it comes every two and a half minutes
