You are correct, Paul - and elsewhere in the thread I cite quite a few
sources. There is one from TfL which very clearly wants Crossrail worked
through onto AirTrack. I comment on the issue of the HeX monopoly on
access to the H5 station box from the east as being basically a BAA
commercial decision, and 5+ years is a lot of water to pass under the
bridge yet .... By then, the commercial imperitives may point to a more
eclectic approach to train use on the HeX route from HC to H5.


I think previous discussions have noted that without major work the box
under T5 does not allow for through running to the east from the Airtrack
platforms, and only a single connection from one of the present HEx
platforms to Airtrack, with a junction west of the station.

It looks as though a certain degree of inflexibility has been designed in.
Intentionally?

Future generations will have things to say, no doubt!!
