IMHO: The best location for a Heathrow Hub would be next to the M25
north of Staines.
It'd get a bit wet.
West of Heathrow?

There was a GW branch to Staines. I believe it is now part of M25.
We need to bring it back for a worthwhile north-south thru hub. The
solutions a

1. take two lanes back from M25, or
2. rebuild it as an elevated route, o3
3. build it next to M25.

It is ublikely that the London government will see anything that does
not connect to the central London termini as important.


The London government has no say in the matter, it's up to the British
government.

I was being deliberately tendentious. The alleged British government
governs the country for the metropolis.
