Heathrow Airtrack

Heathrow Airtrack is a proposed new rail link between Heathrow Terminal 5 and the existing rail network to the south and west, including Reading, Guildford and London Waterloo.

Earlier this year, BAA consulted on the major new works that will be required to link the Heathrow Terminal 5 station to the existing rail network in Staines. Details can be found in the Heathrow Airtrack consultation brochure 1

The second phase of public consultation will run from 20 October to 15 December 2008. This will consider:

  • Changes to the scheme presented in the first stage consultation
  • The effects of construction and operation of the rail link on the local community and environment
  • The extent of the works required for the whole Heathrow Airtrack scheme, including a new depot at Feltham
  • Changes that may be required to existing rail services.

For more information see the Heathrow Airtrack consultation brochure 2.
