Inside Heathrow’s ‘immense’ secret railway station
Heathrow airport has a secret: underneath it, a huge ghost station has been built, in order to serve Terminal 5 in the future.
The empty station, which opened in 2008, already has platforms built but track and signals would need to be installed to make it operational.
Giving 5 live an exclusive tour – Heathrow head of surface access Chris Joyce said the train station could be used between 2020 and 2030.
“The scale is absolutely immense,” Mr Joyce said. “For me, this is the biggest kept secret at Heathrow.”
