Until then, it'll be two from Waterloo & Two from Reading
every hour. Once it gets contracted & built, that is.
And two from Guildford.
Latest thinking is that there will also be 2HEx per hour extended
from T5 to Staines.
Looks like the future options for crossrail are growing by the minute
Still pretty pathetic compared to the airport I've most recently used,
Zurich's. They diverted a main line under the airport so you get a
wide range of train and destination options.
Yes, several European airports have main lines passing through/under
them (eg, Amsterdam, Cologne, Frankfurt, Paris, even Gatwick). I don't
know if that was ever considered for LHR, but the use of diesel traction
on the adjacent main line wouldn't have helped.
