For a short period in 1998 before the Heathrow Express tunnels opened,
trains started running to a temporary station called Heathrow Junction
somewhere near the tunnel mouth. Does anyone have any details about
exactly where it was and what it amounted to, or even photos of it?
Thanks,
U

Was it definitely named "Heathrow Junction"? I've seen official
sources calling it "London Heathrow Fast Train" station.
The station had a single platform alongside a temporary spur off the
Down Airport line. A temporary trailing crossover provided access onto
the Up Airport line.

Yes, I think the station would have been south of the main line; but is
that area also known as Stockley Park (as well as the high profile
industrial area)? If not, then update the Wiki!

Although it was near Stockley Park, there was no road or pedestrian access
to the station from the local area.

Where the two loose rails are in between the tracks on the spur, there
appears to be a raised area if you zoom in far enough. Was this once a
platform?
