METRO: LONDON'S PICCADILLY LINE EXTENSION--HOUNSLOW WEST TO HEATHROW AIRPORT CENTRE

The extension of London's Piccadilly metro line from Hounslow West to the centre of Heathrow Airport has now passed the halfway mark; work is in progress on all three stations--Hounslow West, Hatton Cross and Heathrow Central--as well as on the covered ways and tunnels. The work on the 3-1/2 mile extension is in three main parts--the cut-and-cover section from Hounslow West to a new station at Hatton Cross on the airport perimeter, the mainly deep tube section from Hatton Cross to Heathrow Central, and the terminal station at Heathrow Central.
