Title: New Heathrow station and connection to HS1. Post by: FarWestJohn on May 28, 2008, 14:29:17 Rail hub plan for Heathrow
A mainline station linking Heathrow to the national rail network and Channel tunnel could transform Europe^s most congested airport into a world class transport hub, according to a proposal put forward by Arup, the civil engineering consultants. The plan would include a 12-platform station built between the existing West Drayton and Iver stations, including eight platforms for domestic services. A twin track 24km high-speed rail link would be built largely in tunnels to join the existing high speed line above St Pancras International. http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/11d848ac-2c11-11dd-9861-000077b07658.html?nclick_check=1 This page is printed from the "Coffee Shop" forum at http://gwr.passenger.chat which is provided by a customer of Great Western Railway.
