The sense in extending the High Speed Rail link to Heathrow is when it is extended to serve extend it to Birmingham/Manchester/Leeds/Edinburgh/Glasgow.
By doinfg so the need for additional runways and terminals would be avoided.
This ould make even more sense in meeting the need to reduce C)2 emmissions.
