Bit bloody useless for all of the passengers living in the M4 corridor
for whom Heathrow is usefully situated.

Ask yourself which came first Heathrow Airport or the M4 corridor and
its passengers that live there.
Hum, when was the mainline railway built?

Relevence?


Why would they build a mainline railway to an area with
no people in it.

To (in this case) to get to Bristol and the transatlantic shipping
trade, same applies to Southamppton and Plymouth. Swindon was just a
convienient place to put a workshop, railway more or lesss followed the
track of the Bath Road an ancient track and a turnpike.

Not totally acurate. What became the present mainline railway was initially
proposed by Bristolians to move their goods to London and the railway
doesn't follow the Bath Road.

"They" didn't. The railway was built to move goods from the port of
Bristol to London.


all the local station were still build long before the airport was
'comercialised'.

Why did they do this if there was no-one living (or expecting
to move) there?

Nope, try looking at a map. (Which is not to say that the two don't get
close and even cross in one or two places between London and Reading.)

You said, "railway more or lesss followed the track of the Bath Road an
ancient track and a turnpike" indicates that the two are close to each other
for most or all of the distance, they're not. Except for a couple of
locations, they don't even get close.

More or less, all the implications are your fantasies.

That's about as close to an apology as I'm likely to get from you so I
suppose it will have to suffice.
