<p>Network Rail’s own data details that a Western Rail Link to Heathrow will involve
over £800 million of UK economic activity, including additional economic benefits
for the region.</p><p> </p><p>Passengers will benefit from new journey opportunities,
improving access to Heathrow from the South Coast, South West, South Wales and West
Midlands via a simple change of train at Reading. This will spare passengers the frustration
of passing Heathrow on the way to Paddington, before having to turn around and do
the last part of the journey in reverse – significantly reducing rail journey times
between Reading and Heathrow.</p>
