Left In A Siding: The Rail Link That Could Make Heathrow Greener
The title of this post is the same as that of this article on the Guardian.
The article makes a powerful case forvthe building of the Heathrow Southern Railway.
It is a must read.
I can never understand, why the government hasn’t backed this scheme.
- It creates a four trains per hour service between Heathrow and Waterloo via Staines and Clapham Junction
- It creates an extension of Heathrow Express to Basingstoke, Guildford and Woking.
- The extended Hethrow Express creates a much needed commuter route into Paddington.
- Few properties would be affected by the new railway.
But above all, it will be built with private money.
