LONDON
- The trip from London's West End to the Heathrow airport usually takes
almost an hour by road. Now, following the opening of the $750 million
high-speed
Heathrow Express rail line, journey has been cut to just 15 minutes.
It is estimated that six million
passengers a year will use the 14-train, 160 km/h service. but not everyone
is happy. Critics point out that with a one way ticket costing the 400-seat
train is more expensive per kilometer than the Concorde. At least the countryside
has been catered, for: the ventilation shafts of a tunnel built for the
train are craftily disguised as barns.
The Heathrow Express departs
every 15 minutes from Paddington station. |
