Tan Dhesi says the four-mile (6.5km) connection would benefit 20% of the UK’s population.
Building a £900m rail link between Reading and Heathrow Airport is the “number one infrastructure priority” for the Thames Valley, an MP who supports the plan said.
The project, which would provide a link between the two with a stop in Slough, was put on hold indefinitely in 2020.A Network Rail spokesperson said the project was closed because of “administrative reasons” but could be revived with a “satisfactory business case”.Mr Dhesi set up an All-Party Parliamentary Group for the Western Rail Link to Heathrow in 2018, along with other Berkshire MPs.
He said the new government is “steadfast in its commitment to economic growth” as well as “enhancing our infrastructure and rail connectivity”.It is accessible by taking the Elizabeth Line to Hayes and Harlington before catching a train to Heathrow.Mum says son needs 24-hour care after knife attack
