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.
