And they should bite the bullet and divert all GW
mainline expresses through Heathrow. How would
the length and cost of this diversion
compare with the Selby diversion?


A big problem is the three terminal areas within Heathrow. I can't see every
train from Cardiff calling at Terminal 5, Terminal 123 and Terminal 4. If
the expresses only call at one station and loads of passengers need to
change, then the expresses might as well call at Hayes or Reading and all
the passengers change for trains to Heathrow there.
