http://business.timesonline.co.uk/tol/business/industry_sectors/transport/article2982649.ece Arup^s plan would see the Channel Tunnel line extended west , parallel with the Great Western line. After Heathrow , trains would turn north along the alignment of the Chiltern line , running to Birmingham and Scotland.
