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. tim 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. Then they must have moved it since I was a kid. |
