Never going to happen and it has been well chewed over in the past.
  1. The Nimby's of Northolt are well healed and if you think the citizens of Sipson whipped up a storm - wait to see this lot!
  2. As Skipness says, folks have no idea about how much time to leave getting across one terminal, leave alone a T1-T4/5 connection. Asking them to take a fast train to Terminal N, that takes a bit longer? Nah. They will belly ache all day long and spread very bad publicity for EGLL.
It's a pity about the above, because I thought it was the best idea when I first heard of it over five years ago. It makes sense for many reasons.

I can only repeat, no new runway will be built in the South East of England in the next 15 years and probably longer.
