Bit bloody useless for all of the passengers living in the M4
corridor for whom Heathrow is usefully situated.

Ask yourself which came first Heathrow Airport or the M4
corridor and its passengers that live there.
Hum, when was the mainline railway built?

Relevence?
Why would they build a mainline railway to an area with
no people in it.

To (in this case) to get to Bristol and the transatlantic shipping
trade, same applies to Southamppton and Plymouth. Swindon was
just a convienient place to put a workshop, railway more or lesss
followed the track of the Bath Road an ancient track and a
turnpike.
Not totally acurate. What became the present mainline railway was
initially proposed by Bristolians to move their goods to London and
the railway doesn't follow the Bath Road.


Then they must have moved it since I was a kid.
Nope, try looking at a map. (Which is not to say that the two don't
get close and even cross in one or two places between London and
Reading.)

Which is what I said in the first place.


You said, "railway more or lesss followed the track of the Bath Road an
ancient track and a turnpike" indicates that the two are close to each other
for most or all of the distance, they're not. Except for a couple of
locations, they don't even get close.



More or less, all the implications are your fantasies.
