Of course, AirTrack is meant to greatly improve Heathrow's connectivity

It's a sticking plaster. It doesn't even begin to address the huge
problem of people travelling to and from Heathrow by road.

Heathrow Express/Connect was much the same. They are worthwhile
projects in their own right, but are essentially local in nature, and
made very little difference to the overall problem.
