    Go between the bustling city of London to the site of the busiest airport In Britain with TSW2- London to Heathrow

    Heathrow Express And Heathrow Connect is an airport rail link between London Heathrow Airport and London Paddington. It is an open-access operator, formed in 1998, and is operated by Heathrow Express Operating Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of Heathrow Airport Holdings.

    The locos:

    Excellent idea but the overhead wires will need to be live 25kv 50hz Paddington to Hayes and Harlington Junction for Heathrow Airport. If you make this in 2021 the new train will be Class 345 with Class 387 layered from brighton main line.

    Licencing is the problem.

    Heathrow airport (well the organisation that owns and runs it) own the actual line between Hayes & Harlington and the airport, and they don't license it out, so unfortunately this won't happen

    Also with the stations being part of the Terminals, security is likely to take an interest if you were to try a research trip without permission.
