| I don't know whether the Piccadilly ever stopped all day at the weekends, but Heathrow was a different animal in the 80s (bulging at 30m passengers a year, versus the 80m+ today). Stopping trains on a more regular basis today would degrade its regularity. A 'minute here and a minute there' adds up, especially when you consider how many Pics line trains whizz through TG every day. New signalling will allow trains to run closer together (less distance between them). This will make for a more frequent service and a stop at TG could finally happen. |
