Are there any good websites about Heathrow. Its past, present and

Where would they squeeze it in?

Basically by demolishing parts of two villages to the north of the
current airport, but to the south of the M4.

Would that mean yet another closure of the Piccadilly? Does the current
work make any provision for future expansion? Or would it not have its own
station? What about HX?

Random question about Airtrack: the idea is that Airtrack would connect to
the Heathrow Express/Connect line at Terminal 5, right? So you could have
trains running Paddington - Heathrow - Waterloo or Paddington - Heathrow -
Ascot - Reading? If so, has anyone considered using that to extend
Crossrail beyond Heathrow? Is there much of a commuter market on the line
from Staines to Reading?

Also, has anyone drawn a map or diagram with all the lines, existing and
proposed, at Heathrow? My head's spinning trying to fit them all together.
