They've been talking about a link to Staines since I lived there and

Why Staines? I recall the old Railbus service went to Woking which links
with the SWT mainline?


There still is a bus between the airport and Woking. To get there by
rail it is proposed to build a line from T5 to Staines across Stanmwell
Moor to link into the existing network. Unfortunately the north to west
curve at Staines has recently been built on so trains would have to
reverse at Staines to reach Woking.


Thanks
