It sounds as if one priority is to provide faster service between Heathrow Airport and the City. Is there some way that the current Heathrow Express to Paddington could be re-routed to bring it into London Bridge or Blackfriars stations? Even if some new tracks had to be laid in the suburbs the cost probably would be far less than digging new tunnels in the urbanized areas. And even if trains on the new route ran more slowly than the current Heathrow Express, travel times between LHR and the City surely would be much faster than today through the elimination of the Tube ride from Paddington.While we're on the subject, how about another re-routing to bring the Heathrow Express into Charing Cross station for better access to the West End? |
