Piccadilly line extension to Terminal 5/Heathrow Express extension to T5
In article , Nigel Pendse
writes I had assumed that it was a double tunnel from T123 to T5, with two platforms at T5. That's my understanding, though possible with three platforms. The T4 loop would connect with the eastbound (northern) tunnel just before the T123 station. To do this, the rebuilt loop will presumably have to dive under the west-bound (and maybe both) tunnel, whereas the current version is on the level -- hence the long closure. Why rebuild the loop? Why not just have the new westbound tunnel dive under the loop, thus not requiring any rebuilding? I don't understand the need for the long closure. -- Clive D.W.
