A new report, published by the Centre for Policy Studies, sets out proposals for “Heathrow Hub”, an integrated air and rail facility which would nearly double slot capacity at Heathrow while also mitigating noise and environmental concerns. It involves: extending both of the existing runways up to a total length of about 7,000 metres and dividing them so that they each provide two, full-length, runways, allowing simultaneous take-offs and landings; and, providing a new transport interchange immediately north of Terminal 5, directly connecting the airport with the M25 motorway, Crossrail, the Great Western Main Line and, as an option, an alternative HS2 route via the airport (should the HS2 project proceed).
