Are there any good websites about Heathrow. Its past, present and

possibility.
Where would they squeeze it in?

Basically by demolishing parts of two villages to the north of the
current airport, but to the south of the M4.

Would that mean yet another closure of the Piccadilly? Does the
current
work make any provision for future expansion? Or would it not have its
own
station? What about HX?

The official proposal is for a third runway, not a sixth terminal, so no
new railway construction is currently envisaged. However, some reports
have said the new runway would require its own terminal, otherwise the
planned increase in flights could not be achieved. I haven't seen any
discussion of the surface transport implications of a sixth terminal.
