Ah - now that's a new one on me! That seems to be a separate idea - here's what the DfT's "The future development of air transport in the UK: South East" has to say about stations: "7.10 The planning permission for Terminal 5 requires extension of the Heathrow Express and Piccadilly Line to serve Terminal 5 before the terminal opens. BAA were also expected to consider securing a service to St Pancras and the opening of a Northern Gateway Station at Hayes and Harlington." "7.15 With a new runway the following services have been assumed: Guildford, Reading via Bracknell and Waterloo via Richmond (requiring the "Airtrack" link between Terminal 5 and Staines); St Albans and Watford (requiring additional tracks between Hayes and Acton); East London via Crossrail; Reading via Slough (requiring the "Western connection" link between Terminal 5 and Iver); and a range of InterCity services to the Regions (requiring an open-air station - for diesel services - to the west of Terminal 5)." That last "open-air station" bit is what i was calling 'Heathrow Intercity'; i assume Hayes Gateway is this "Northern Gateway Station at Hayes and Harlington". I have no idea what this "Western connection" thing is. The DfT are certainly full of ideas about things to build at Heathrow - i'd be surprised if there was any room left for aeroplanes! tom -- It sounds very much like a rock group consisting of a drum machine and a few 56k modems. -- Jon |
