This is something of a surprise, but it makes a lot of sense to open the airport rail link soon after the #MetroTunnel, and upgrade capacity later. If a another rail tunnel has to come first, we'll still be waiting for airport rail beyond 2030. https://t.co/KvXbH3Ugoe
Although the fear is that the further upgrades are never made, I guess something is better than nothing? On a side note, did I miss the incorporation of the Melton line?

There’s been 20 years of debate about airport rail. The real fear is that if it depends on a tunnel, the huge cost of that means there’ll continue to be debate and no action — or in best case scenario, they’ll get started but it’ll be a 10+ year build.
