At a total cost of about £ 235 million, London is to have a new high speed rail link between Paddington terminal in central London and the capital's principal international airport at Heathrow. Under the scheme, dedicated rolling stock will provide a 16-minute non-stop rail service between central London and the passenger terminals at Heathrow, cutting the present journey time by public transport by nearly three quarters.
