One wonders how that discussion's going at the moment... A much better solution is the Windsor Link, which provides better connectivity throughout the region but requires no subsidy from the taxpayer or Heathrow - especially important now.
Progress on the Reading to Heathrow Western Rail Link is currently waiting for a decision from the government with regards to the amount that it is prepared to fund. https://t.co/w07lEGMkhB @HeathrowByRail@windsorlink@GWRHelp
The Windsor Link helps to save our environment. It's a new railway parallel to the most congested section of the most congested motorway in the UK, the M25 between the M3 and M4. It fixes a 300 metre gap between two existing but under-utilised lines to Windsor.
Are politicians out-of-touch with public opinion? The Windsor Link is an example of a project with strong public support, with independent surveys consistently in favour - see https://t.co/98G5MOisU3
It also saves national taxpayers' money which leads to lower fares.
We're going to help to reduce CO2 by building new railways in the most congested parts of the country at no net cost to the taxpayer and reduced fares for travellers
@grantshapps That’s great. Now as Minister of Transport, what are you doing about the Climate Emergency, to reduce CO2 emissions for all our sakes, so our children have a habitable planet ???

Alighting from a train is 'real life'. The alternatives, like 'getting off' or 'going down' are longer and uglier. Birds also alight. Let's not dumb down the beauty of the English language.
Have you ever had trouble finding a parking space in Windsor or @HeathrowAirport ? We could copy Hyde Park or Palma and put the spaces underground, improving the beauty of the riverside whilst providing up to 1,600 new spaces. https://t.co/kVFcODhvW2
Thanks to everybody who came to our event at last week and @windsoretonbrew for hosting us. It was especially good to meet the large contingent from Eton Wick. If you want to hear about future events (we're planning another in September) please join us at https://t.co/xdei01lgVq
