Default Photos/details of Heathrow Junction station

For a short period in 1998 before the Heathrow Express tunnels
opened, trains started running to a temporary station called Heathrow
Junction somewhere near the tunnel mouth. Does anyone have any
details about exactly where it was and what it amounted to, or even
photos of it?


Was it definitely named "Heathrow Junction"? I've seen official
sources calling it "London Heathrow Fast Train" station.

The station had a single platform alongside a temporary spur off the
Down Airport line. A temporary trailing crossover provided access onto
the Up Airport line.
