At some point you or your relatives may need to use it to get to LHR and a few disrupted journeys would be a distant memory.
It's the price of progress and should this attitude have been allowed to dictate large projects in the past, we would not have the tube, the mainline railways or most of the motorways.
The benefit is for Heathrow plc and they are not so far funding it, only a promise.
Surprisingly I support the link, BUT, not as taxpayers from the whole of UK funding it for a few, when they are not improving rail links elsewhere for millions of folk. This will be loss making line, passengers will have to get to 3 stations by road and no long term parking available at the stations.
