LHR LGW high speed link - HS4Air

Expedition Engineering have come up with an outline proposal for an HS1 - HS2 link which would include a high speed link between LHR & LGW.

  • Fast direct rail access to both LGW and LHR from major cities north and west of London including Birmingham, Manchester and Cardiff
  • Dramatically reduced journey times for rail journeys between south east England and the Midlands, North and West UK
  • Direct high-speed train services from Manchester and Birmingham to Europe via the channel tunnel
  • A 15-minute transfer time between LGW and LHR allowing them to share operations
  • Fast rail freight services by-passing London to allow dramatically faster logistics operations
  • Relief for London’s rail network leaving more capacity for Londoners.
