Heathrow and rail
Source: Melvyn
Following the abandonment of the proposed HS1-2 link via the North London Line, a new proposal from the Greengauge21 group is to build a new direct link by extending HS1, in tunnel, across London to Heathrow Airport – where customs and immigration could allow Eurostar services to run – and also to a new link with Chiltern Railways, allowing Javelin trains to be extended across London.
The scheme also includes opening of Stratford International for Eurostar services.
The other scheme links Heathrow to Waterloo via the Western Access scheme.
