The Heathrow Southern Railway (HSR) proposal re-emerges as the UK Government supports a third runway at Heathrow Airport to stimulate economic growth. This privately financed railway aims to connect Surrey towns to Heathrow, facilitating direct train services to London Waterloo, Woking, and Guildford, which could significantly reduce road traffic. HSR leaders stress environmental concern by planning the route mainly underground and electrified, serving to minimize its impact. The initiative is viewed as a key step in boosting public transport access to one of the world’s busiest airports and enhancing connectivity.
"The UK Government has set a bold agenda for growth with its support for a third runway at Heathrow Airport. Our railway enhances that growth by increasing connectivity and reducing surface emissions."
"Heathrow Southern Railway has a depth of experience in creating opportunities for private investment that could deliver tangible benefits to the UK, and southern rail access to Heathrow would positively transform public transport connectivity to Europe's busiest airport."
